Can someone who chooses not to have a telephone in their home sue the county because they were unable to call 911?

The Onstar phone is already in the car. It's not the same thing. The equipment is there, it is functional, the network is there, people are standing by. There is no excuse for Onstar not to be available in an emergency.

If you lock your keys in the car, no. If you're in an accident, yes.

Same thing with buying a house or renting an apartment. The phone wiring is already there. The phone is there. You just need to subscribe to the services, just like subscribing to OnStar's services.

Does OnStar have a detection device that can tell if the airbags deployed? I thought I saw a commerical where they were able to tell if the car was in an accident. It would seem they could call 911 and let the police know that there was a deployment and no response from the driver.

Or is that what you were refering to?
