A good friend has a newish Ford Explorer. He turned off all the communications, and said hell no to paying for the monthly fee. His vehicle has crash detection. A bad driver pulled right out in front of him, and he slammed on the brakes, and the system took over and added even more brakes, and he said he was real happy no one was behind him. Then the crash detection system asked if he needed it to call 911. He cussed at it, and as he had not hit the other car, he just went on his way. The system was supposed to be off, but in an emergency, it works anyway, so it is on, and just monitoring everything, even when "off".
