All the ideas and regulations introduced by the European Union over the last 10 years regarding cars have been bad, they have done more harm than good and have unnecessarily increased car prices. We should return to the standards from 10 years ago, they were more reasonable and based on common sense. But I guess this is the consequence of politicians and bureucrats living in the ivory tower.

I feel like the title is misleading. It's not 75% of the false calls to 112 originating from eCall activation.

There's 3.5 millions calls to 112 per year. Out of these, 1 million were not transferred further to the emergency services.

There's been 37.500 calls to 112 originating from the eCall system. About 28.000 of them were not redirected to the emergency service.

So, the eCall system helped in about 10.000 cases, and contributed 2.8% of the non-emergency calls to the 112.

I'm not surprised. I bought a new car in January, and I was unaware of this feature until I read the user manual.
