The main reason is safety; in many parts of the world, an automatic emergency call in case of an accident is mandatory. For this to be possible, the car needs to be connected. I know Russia, China, Japan, and the EU have these rules. I think it was mandatory in parts of the US as well, but I'm not sure.

    Who's safety though? The car owner that chooses to not have this system? The other driver that can choose whether or not to have such a system? The inanimate infrastructure that was involved in the accident?
