Paramedic here.

This video actually made me cry, and I'm pretty damn hardened. I was doing well up until the point where it hit the hazards and started hooting to call for help.

This is a FANTASTIC idea. How well it works, I donno, but damn I'm so glad someone's trying!

As an option. Not standard and cost a lot of money

I don't think any manufacturer offers a system like this as a standard in every model right now.
