In the latter case, the deployment of the airbag is tantamount to the automatic transmission of information about the incident to the operational center. All incident or collision data and traffic parameters, such, like speed, fuel consumption, engine temperature etc.. are stored in the on-board computer memory ("black box" function). The user can reserve the boundaries of the area, which allows the car to move and speed, which he must not exceed. The option of direct contact between the operations center and the driver is also offered, preview (also in the dark) and wiretapping the interior of the vehicle, self-diagnosis of damage, etc..

In turn, the costs of such protection include the installation price, activation fee and monthly subscription. The device can also be leased. Installation of the system in a specialized plant takes several hours.
An unquestionable disadvantage of this type of solutions is the need to voluntarily submit to third party inspection. When the system is expanded with the function of viewing and listening in on the interior. Some may perceive this as a violation of personal freedom. Perhaps, however, the sense of security is worth interfering with private life.
