You’re in a crash. A reckless driver cuts into your lane and smashes into you. But before you even have a chance to figure out what just happened, built-in sensors can automatically send an alert to OnStar. An Advisor can check to see if you’re OK and immediately relay critical crash information — like the type of crash and how severe it is — to emergency responders so they can send the right help when every second counts … so How Do They Do It?

We’ll take a look at a GM car with this built-in sensor technology and find out how it works.
