Every year, thousands of crash victims die not because help wasn't available, but because help arrived too late.
Today's emergency response system still depends on someone calling 9-1-1 after an airbag deploys. Critical minutes are lost while victims, witnesses, or vehicle systems attempt to communicate what happened to 9-1-1 emergency services.
The LiDAR Saving Lives (LSL) Public Safety Coalition is changing that.
We are leading a national effort to transform airbag deployments into immediate emergency response by enabling fully automated Drone First Responder (DFR) dispatch, Real Time Intelligence Center (RTIC) awareness, and rapid delivery of life-saving resources within seconds of impact.
From Airbag Deployment to Life-Saving Action
When an airbag deploys, a fully automated AI-driven chain of events begins:
- The crash is digitally identified.
- Public safety receives immediate notification.
- Drone First Responders are dispatched.
- RTIC personnel gain real-time situational awareness.
- Police intelligence operations are coordinated.
- Trauma kits and pre-hospital blood are deployed when appropriate.
- EMS arrives faster and better informed.
Our Mission
To establish and scale a nationwide Airbag Deployment-to-Drone First Responder Network that automatically coordinates crash intelligence, police pre-arrival awareness, and pre-hospital blood delivery, creating faster 9-1-1 response and better outcomes.
What Makes This Different
LSL is moving post-crash care from a reactive process to a proactive AI-driven system.
Instead of waiting for a call for help, connected vehicles become automated emergency response initiators.
Within 2–3 seconds of an airbag deployment, crash intelligence can be delivered to public safety agencies, creating immediate awareness of a potentially life-threatening event.
Advancing the Safe System Approach
LSL's mission directly supports the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe System Approach by strengthening its Post-Crash Care pillar.
Reduce the Time between a Crash and the Arrival of Life-Saving Care.
By integrating connected vehicles, AI, Next-Generation 9-1-1, RTICs, and Drone First Responders, we are building the infrastructure for the next generation of emergency response.
Building the National Ecosystem
LSL brings together:
- Automotive OEMs
- Public Safety Agencies
- Real Time Intelligence Centers
- Drone First Responder Providers
- Universities and Research Institutions
- Trauma Care Leaders
- Emergency Communications Professionals
- Technology Innovators
Together, we are transforming the moment of impact into the first moment of care.
Faster 9-1-1 Response. Better Outcomes. More Lives Saved.
