The previous use cases are economically focused returns
(mostly financial), but IoT also provides important health
and safety benefits and quality-of-life benefits. An example
is the European Union’s plans for eCall—a system that
will be built into every vehicle and, in the case of a vehicle
crash, will inform emergency personnel to assist.15 This
initiative is expected to shave 50 to 60 percent off of
the response time for emergency services, leading to
potentially lifesaving consequences.
