Just as long as it is a GM car and the service was activated. There are only about 30 other car manufacturers represented on the highways today.
OK,fair point.But as I said there's at least one other car company (European) that has a feature that's basically the same thing as OnStar (I own one of its products that has the feature).I don't know if any other car makers,foreign or domestic,have it but the technology *does* exist.It's kinda cool,actually.I used it when I first bought the car at the salesman's suggestion.As soon a connection was made,my *exact* location was displayed on the little screen on the dashboard.I guess that's what makes it possible for them to dispatch an ambulance if you're in an accident.
“There are only about 30 other car manufacturers represented on the highways today.”
I bet most of them have “black boxes” now though. It’d be a “simple” thing for the gov’t to mandate that said black boxes have a transponder pointing out the back to enable a signal to tell it to shut down the engine.
On second thought, forget I said anything. They’ll do it for sure.
