Next-Generation 9-1-1 Automotive Nonprofit 501(c)(4) Public Benefit Organization
We are the LiDAR Saving Lives Public Safety Coalition bringing the Automotive Industry together with the 9-1-1 Public Safety Community to Save Lives with Faster, Smarter Emergency Responses
Every second counts in an emergency. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), for every 1-minute increase in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response time, the odds of fatality increase by 2.6%. At the LiDAR Saving Lives Public Safety Coalition, our mission is clear: to drastically reduce emergency response times and enhance responder preparedness at the site of critical incidents.
Through innovative software applications and real-world validation of communication protocols, we are creating solutions that can be shared and easily deployed across the automotive industry. By leveraging cutting-edge connectivity systems, vehicles can now transmit critical, real-time data directly to Next-Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) Emergency Communication Centers—saving precious seconds and improving outcomes for those involved in motor vehicle crashes.
Real-Time Data for Enhanced Responder Preparedness
Modern vehicles are equipped with powerful data systems capable of providing essential information during a crash, such as:
With advanced software and AI, this data can be sorted, organized, and transmitted in real-time to responders, dispatchers, and service providers.
This seamless integration of vehicle-embedded and cloud-based technologies ensures everyone in the NG911 ecosystem receives the right information at the right time.
The 9-1-1 Dispatcher Visibility Demonstration Project
The cornerstone of our efforts is the 9-1-1 Dispatcher Visibility Demonstration Project, a collaborative initiative designed to validate and deploy these life-saving technologies. Working with partners like Karma Automotive, the Connected Vehicle Systems Alliance (COVESA) and the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), we are pioneering solutions that eliminate delays and inconsistencies in traditional 9-1-1 systems.
Karma Automotive, as the first automotive OEM partner in this project, is piloting this technology using their 3rd Generation Karma Revero sport sedans. These vehicles will transmit crash data directly to NG911 centers, bypassing intermediary systems and enabling faster, more accurate emergency responses. In partnership with the University of California Riverside, Karma Automotive will share its findings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the broader COVESA and CAR community to drive industry-wide innovation.
A Vision for a Safer Future
“At Karma, safety is not just a feature—it’s essential,” says Marques McCammon, President of Karma Automotive. “By standardizing our approach to safety innovation, we can improve driver well-being, reduce costs, and accelerate the adoption of life-saving technologies.”
Together with partners like Karma Automotive, we are working to democratize development and share our insights for the benefit of the entire automotive industry and the communities it serves. Upcoming Karma vehicles will seamlessly integrate these technologies through their Karma Connect Vehicle Data Management and connectivity services platform, setting a new standard for safety and innovation.
