20 August 2009 Imagine an electronic safety system in your car that would automatically call emergency services if you had an accident! Supposing that, even if you were unconscious, the system would inform rescue workers of your exact whereabouts. The ambulance and the fire brigade could be on their way in minutes, without the need for any human intervention. And imagine that this system would work anywhere in Europe – whatever the local language.
Such a system is not only possible; it is
currently being rolled out across the European
Union. The system is called "eCall" and it is one
of the most important road safety actions under
the European Union's "e-safety" initiative.

112 - the single European emergency number
2 December 2008 Would you know which emergency number to call in an EU country in case of an accident or other emergency situation ? As Europeans are increasingly travelling for business or leisure, millions of people could be faced with this problem. Fortunately, there is no need to look up and remember the emergency numbers for each EU country you are visiting. Just remember 112.

16 October 2006 New cars on the market today have safety equipment like airbags, ESP and ABS, that increase stability and safety of the vehicle, without the driver having to do anything. New systems in cars are exchanging information with each other, so roads and cars are actually becoming more or less "intelligent".

17 November 2003 Road accidents kill over 40,000 people in the European Union every year and injure nearly 2 million at a cost of about €160 billion to society. Casualty numbers may be on their way down, but they still remain fairly high. To increase road safety and reduce the number of accidents on European roads the European Commission launched the eSafety initiative in 2003.
