Leading the Automotive Industry into the Next Generation of 9-1-1 Emergency Response.

The LiDAR Saving Lives Public Safety Coalition (LSL) is proud to serve as the official Project Management Organization (PMO) and National Education Lead for KARMA Automotive’s pioneering crash-to-care initiative—an industry-first integration of real-time airbag-triggered alerts, AI-assisted crash scene data, and Drone-as-a-First Responder (DFR) deployment into the Next-Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) ecosystem.

Every second counts after a crash. Traditional emergency response depends on human witnesses and delayed telematics relays, costing precious minutes—and lives. Our mission is to eliminate that delay by leading a national transformation from analog response systems to automated, IP-based crash detection and response infrastructure.

In collaboration with the University of California, Riverside (UCR) and the City of Riverside, LSL is managing the implementation of a private/public funded Demonstration Project titled: “Improving Post-Crash Care with Real-Time Data Driven 9-1-1 Response.”

Our prototype system architecture revolutionizes post-crash care by automating the full emergency response chain:

• Airbag Deployment Automation Platform (ADAP): Instantly detects crash severity and location, transmitting alerts to 9-1-1 within 2–3 seconds.

• NG911-Compliant IP Routing: Structured crash data is securely transmitted to PSAPs, trauma centers, and Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs) using NENA i3 standards.

• Drone-as-a-First Responder (DFR): Autonomous drones are dispatched with live-stream video and audio feeds, providing real-time situational awareness before EMS even arrives.

With KARMA Automotive as the flagship automotive OEM partner, the project follows a phased deployment model:

1. Phase 1 – Simulation & Lab Integration: Validating real-time crash alerts and system logic.

2. Phase 2 – Controlled Field Deployment: Real-world testing with KARMA vehicles and municipal fleet integration.

3. Phase 3 – Citywide Demonstration: Public safety operations in Riverside to test emergency response performance improvements.

By reducing the time from airbag deployment to 9-1-1 awareness by up to 80%, we enable:

✅ Faster emergency response

✅ Improved on-scene decision-making

✅ Higher survival rates for trauma victims

This isn’t just innovation—it’s impact.

LSL is now inviting automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, insurers, tech firms, trauma care leaders, and public safety agencies to join as Founding Impact Partners. Your involvement will help:

• Scale this life-saving system nationwide

• Drive high-impact R&D

• Access early intellectual property rights

• Demonstrate your leadership in public benefit innovation

Together, we can rewrite the future of roadway safety.
