Driving a rural but high-traffic highway (US 6 from Price to SLC), I saw someone going the other direction flash their high beams. It took me a second to parse, so I looked in my mirror -- "Was that another red Tesla?" But as soon as I got around the curve, I saw what the problem was: debris all over the lanes ...and a pickup truck on the side of the road with a BADLY smashed front end -- a crash.
It wasn't safe to stop to check what was up, so I pushed the button on my steering wheel (my phone is paired) and said "Call 9-1-1". There was a pause, and then a message popped up: "No directory entry for nine-one-one."
That's right: my car didn't know the number for 911!
Seems to me, that's something the car should be able to do right out of the box!
(I called manually. Turns out it was so rural, there was no cell service. About the time I thought maybe I'd try again, I saw an ambulance running up the hill in that direction, so apparently someone else got it communicated.)
