2Continental Automotive SystemsTelematics Business Unit
o July-2006 Continental Automotive Systems acquired Motorola’s Automotive Business
o Telematics Business Unit brings a long history of Telematics and Bluetooth solutions
• Ford Rescue 1996• GM OnStar• BMW Assist• Mercedes Tele Aid• Multiple Bluetooth and connectivity units• Over 12M units total shipped
o Continental Automotive Systems is committed to safety, security, and connectivity

3Industry’s Role in Accelerating the Roll-out of eCallA Tier 1 Supplier’s Perspective
o European Commission’s initiative of having a pan-European automatic crash notification system, is a critical step in reducing overall traffic injuries and fatalities
• Nearly 2500 lives may be saved with such a system• Public support is high• Benefits to society are clear
o Why hasn’t eCall progressed as quickly as planned?o What needs to happen to achieve a timely introduction of
eCall?
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 7-9 March 2007
4State of eCall
o European Commission• Urging adoption by all parties
o Member States• 9 out of 25 members have signed MoU
o PSAPs• Require funding for updates and coordination
o Automobile Manufacturers• Desire a cost efficient solution
o Service Providers• Need to maintain business case and their value add options
o Mobile Network Operators• Desire minimal infrastructure changes
o Consumers• Want enhanced safety and life saving benefits
o Tier 1s• Looking for innovations to help balance the above

5Summary State of eCall
o Many parties are required to make eCall a successo Next step involves the Commission and Member States
reaching agreement along with political and financial commitment to eCall
o However, the burden of eCall roll-out does not fall solely on the European Commission and Member States to move forward
o Industry must continue to do its part• Standardize approaches• Collaborate on value add• Develop solutions

6Tier 1 Perspective – Recommendations
o How can Industry help create a timely introduction of eCall?
1. Collaboration between industry players2. Use of agreed upon standards3. Minimize overall costs4. Evolutionary view

71. Collaboration between industry players
o Collaboration between industry players around a common solution is crucial to a pan-European launch of eCall
o Member States and PSAPs need to see a clear consensus on the platforms, protocols and methods used to realize eCall
o The eCall demonstrator presented here is one example of the collaboration needed between Industry players to help accelerate eCall
o The next collaboration must include working with existing service providers and call centers to establish a means for these partners to continue to offer and expand the value add they bring
o Continental Automotive Systems invites the Commission, Member States and other Industry partners to help enhance the eCall demonstrator project

82. Use of agreed upon standards
o To realize a pan-European approach in a timely manner requires a consistent solution that adheres to agreed upon open standards put forth by such groups as ETSI and the eCall DG
o This will help Member States, PSAPs, and Industry focus on a single method across Europe
o Using existing expertise and technologies, the time to implement the eCall system can be shortened
o Existing Telematics Service Providers (TSP) implementations can contribute to the standards as well as adopt standards

93. Minimize overall costs
o Every player in the value chain seeks lowest possible costso Minimizing the costs of upgrades and hardware for in-vehicle,
PSAPs and MNO are critical for timely roll-outo In-band modem technology represents an efficient method to
minimize costs across the value chain and accommodate future changes in carrier’s network technology
o Bluetooth and embedded solutions are both technically viable.
• Bluetooth solutions, if implemented correctly, offer potential in-vehicle hardware cost savings.
o Industry needs to work to balance the costs of these solutions with the benefits and reliability
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 7-9 March 2007
104. Evolutionary view
o As the Commission, Member States, and Industry continue to work together, there will need to be a balance between the “ideal” system and that which will allow for a timely roll-out
o A generation 1 eCall system may involve several possible products simultaneously
• Embedded• Bluetooth• With TSP• Unique systems that can be updated for eCall later

114. Evolutionary view
o To move quickly, Industry should focus on the basics of eCallo Generation 2 systems will improve upon the firsto This evolution will help speed implementation, grow the value
add of these systems and help improve the overall business case

14Conclusion
o Continental Automotive Systems commends the efforts of the Commission, Industry, and Member States thus far in the progress towards implementing eCall
o Recommendations for Industry:• Collaboration between industry players
— Continental Automotive Systems invites the Commission, Member States and other Industry partners to help enhance the eCall demonstrator project
• Follow recommendations of DG eCall, ETSI and other standards bodies
— Ensures a consistent pan-European implementation• Minimize overall costs across the value chain
— Balance the costs of alternative solutions with the benefits and reliability• Evolutionary view - solutions that are updateable and expandable
— Over time, multiple solutions will likely exist simultaneously and will evolveo Continental Automotive Systems is ready to support automobile
manufacturers with solutions that allow early introduction of emergency calling while protecting for eCall implementation
o With these activities, Continental Automotive Systems believes that Industry can help the Commission and Member States move forward with eCall
