I read about this new invention on my local news website www.mbl.is today. The e-cell is a gadget that will in the future be in all cars. When the car is involved in an accident, the e-cell automatically contacts the emergency hotline (112,991,999 etc) and gives the exact location of the car.
This is supposed to reduce the waiting time for the police/ambulance to arrive by 40-50%. Police say by reducing that time, it should also reduce accidents that happen because of other accidents, i.e. when the cars haven't been removed from the scene.
I hope this gadget will be ready soon. It could save a lot of lifes.

This sounds great! Accidents don't always happen where there's a phone, either, especially for people without cell phones. We've all heard the stories of people limping bloody and broken to the nearest house which is 5 miles away. I'm sure there have been lots of instances where people could have used this device and that new cars will come equipped.
