“The device, known as Sentinel, is fire, water and chemical resistant and can handle 100 G-forces.
It is triggered by sensors on impact, by fire, when submerged in water, on airbag deployment or even self-activated using an SOS button. While designed primarily for cars, the device can be adapted to work on farm machinery, motorbikes and planes.
Meta-analysis from Europe shows installing a crash device like the Sentinel can halve the emergency response time, which is predicted to save between 150 and 200 Australian lives and prevent 2,500 profound injuries each year.
The European Union has acknowledged the impact the devices can have, approving plans to make an emergency call feature mandatory in all new cars and vans from April.
The system, known as eCall, is predicted to prevent 2,500 road deaths and save 32 billion euros ($49 billion) a year.”
