It was reported this week that the huge car empire of Mercedes Benz is going to be offering a system for barcodes that will aid paramedics and fire crews when attempting to free victims from a car crash. The barcodes will access a webpage with car plan All car makes have been designed and developed in ways that are usually kept confidential to the designer and the manufacturer. \u00a0For every vehicle and model, each make may have different access or location for parts such as\u00a0airbags, the battery, the tanks, electric cables, high-pressure cylinders and other components &#8211; in the case of hybrid models the location of the additional batteries and high-voltage cables, too. \u00a0The problem comes when fire crews or paramedics need to cut away the cars to remove injured passengers. At the moment when a car is damaged beyond recognition \u00a0the only way they could access further information about the car is by calling in its registration plate (assuming this was visible).
