I'm usually a little stand-offish on invasive monitoring, but this is pretty cool. Emergency services arrived at a BMW crash test facility searching for victims of a serious impact. Apparently one of the techs forgot to turn off the monitoring device that sends GPS coordinates to rescue personnel in the event of a serious crash. And being in a crash facility, that's exactly what they did to it. They explained the situation and I imagine had a good chuckle. Of course this may be a problem if false positives are submitted with any regularity. You're really not sposed to call 911 unless its an emergency. Imagine a pizza delivery guy showing up at your door because your computer mistakenly heard a tummy rumbling on TV. It'd be funny the first time, but that dude would be pissed off quick if it kept happening.
