　　The device then automatically makes a call to the local emergency services_____. If the cars occupants are conscious, they can communicate with the operator_____the speaker and microphone.

　　E-merge also transmits the vehicles make, model, color and license number, and its heading when it crashed, which in turn indicates on which side of a multi-lane highway it ended up.

　　This_____the emergency services find the vehicle as soon as they arrive on the scene, We can waste a large_____time searching for an incident, says Jim Hammond, a _____in vehicle technology at the Association of Chief Police Officers in the UK.
