The Cadillac Corporation has, in fact, already introduced their Onstar System in the 1997 model year. It links a hand-held, voice-activated phone with a GPS satellite device. Onstar allows dispatchers in customer service centers to locate Cadillac owners who are in distress, or who locked their keys in their cars. Emergency response can be dispatched from the Cadillac operated service centers.
In some states, including California, Colorado, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Texas and Florida, the cellular emergency calls are directed to the state police. The increase in the number of calls has been so great, that these states are attempting to build infrastructures to handle the volume of calls received.
