It plugs into the OBD2 port and calls emergency services after a collision. Also, Nissan patented something very similar in 2004: US Patent for Vehicle emergency notification system and related method Patent (Patent # 7,323,972) https://patents.justia.com/patent/7323972

There's a similar one from 1979 for an Automatic emergency call system for vehicles
