Incident response

edit

In certain countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, in the case of an accident, NaviDrive sends a text message containing the exact GPS position of the vehicle by pressing a button or when an airbag deploys, followed by a voice call to a special telephonic assistance platform which receives the position and the voice call. The platform determines the kind of urgency (e.g. medical, accident, fire), by asking a few questions and sends the appropriate emergency services to the exact location of the vehicle.
