Building the Digital Crash Intelligence Layer for the Global Automotive Ecosystem

The LiDAR Saving Lives Public Safety Coalition (LSL) is advancing the next era of post-crash care by developing and deploying the world’s first Next-Generation 9-1-1 IP-based Crash Intelligence Infrastructure purpose-built for connected, software-defined vehicles and Drone First Responders (DFRs).

LSL brings together automotive OEMs, public safety agencies, Real Time Intelligence Centers (RTICs), drone technology providers, universities, and Next-Generation 9-1-1 leaders to modernize how crashes are detected, understood, and responded to → reducing response times from minutes to seconds.

From Airbag Deployment to Drone Response in Seconds

Today’s airbag deployment Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) systems still rely on delayed Telematics Service Provider (TSP) voice-based concierge call center workflows. LSL is helping build a faster, automated alternative:

• Airbag deployment detected instantly 
• Crash intelligence delivered directly to NG9-1-1 infrastructure 
• RTICs gain immediate situational awareness 
• Drone First Responders launched within seconds
• Pre-hospital blood delivery to the crash location, before traditional responders arrive
• Police, fire, and EMS arrive better informed 

This emerging infrastructure enables a new generation of real-time crash response capable of delivering:

• Live aerial scene awareness 
• Faster victim location and triage 
• Accelerated police, fire, and EMS response 
• Digital occupant and vehicle intelligence 
• Improved post-crash survivability 

A Public Benefit-Driven Initiative

LSL serves as a national coalition and ecosystem development hub supporting:

• USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Demonstration Projects 
• RTIC and Drone First Responder deployment initiatives 
• Automotive OEM connected safety programs 
• Next-Generation 9-1-1 modernization efforts 
• Cross-industry standards collaboration 

The Future of Post-Crash Care Starts Before the 9-1-1 Call

The future of airbag deployment post-crash care will start before the 9-1-1 call. It will not be built around delayed voice-based Telematics Service Provider concierge call center workflows.

It will be built around real-time crash intelligence, automated response, and connected public safety infrastructure.

LSL is helping lead that transformation.
