How the connected car revolution is going to increase safety on our roads and fast rescue in case of car collisions
Nearly 1.3 million people die in traffic accidents each year around the world, on average 3,287 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. Road accidents are the 1st cause of death among young adults aged between 15-29.
Traffic accidents cost USD $518 billion globally, for individual countries 1-2% of their annual GDP. Road accidents cost low and middle-income countries USD $65 billion annually, exceeding the total amount received by developmental assistance. Unless actions are taken, road traffic injuries are predicted to become the fifth leading cause of death by 2030.
Collisions can be avoided by means of safer driving, safer cars and better infrastructure. One major enhancement will be the Connected Car revolution.
