Re: interesting
well, tbh, i was more joking around rather than anything else... but, cdru, you do make a very good point. tho, honestly, if it was my own actions that put me in a life threatening situation, i don't really think i'd be able to say much more to myself tehn "well. shit." then whip out my personal phone which would work anywhere his onstar phone (assuming it's still old school analog, it might be analog/digital. it /is/ a really nice car) would and probably more places, and make a call.
if my phone wouldn't work there, i have a sneaking suspicion that even if the analog function wouldn't be working on the OnStar phone, if it's as "work everywhere" as it said it was when it first came out, i am betting that even if the actual analog network is down, it won't remove the ability of said onstar device to create the 911 "call" that is basically a cell phone screaming at max Tx power "I AM RIGHT HERE. EMERGENCY". because removing that sort of backwards compatibility from a system would be absolutely reta...oh shit.

said by cdru  :Don't forget the 3rd mortal dilemma, you decide not to tell him and when he really needs it, it's not available. It likely would only be a minor inconvenience, but if he was counting on it in case of an accident or needing some type of life threatening situation (say even yours), how would you feel, morally speaking? Wow.. that is a great point that the original poster may not have thought about. Then again, he may have thought about it and was just being facetious.
Either way, props for bringing it up. | |
