This heading for a news article, just now, caught my eye and I just had to blog about it.
The article read:
"Some might say it's equivalent to an automotive Lassie, but it's more akin to Knight Rider.
A Texas man is lucky to be alive after being trapped unconscious in a car that had ditched in a river.
The Ford Mustang belonging to one Michael Hicks had in-built technology that called emergency services after he had the accident, according to Fairfax Media.
He had the accident in a remote area, in a black vehicle difficult to spot by passers-by.
The automatic 911 call led rescuers to the vehicle and Hicks was rescued.
"I heard the crash and the last thing I saw was the dashboard flashing calling 911. Where it happened was so remote and so unlit, there was absolutely no chance of anyone seeing me because it was a black car. It gave me my life. That's the ultimate technology right there. It's got my back," he said." (Yahoo, 2012)
I will do some more research on it, when I have more time, and add it to this blog. :)
