Abstract: A vehicle with an automatic accident report function. The vehicle includes a transmitter, a collector, a determiner, and a vehicle estimator. The transmitter automatically transmits, to a server apparatus, accident emergency information that is usable by the server apparatus to estimate injury of an occupant of the vehicle when an accident of the vehicle is detected or forecasted. The collector collects, in the vehicle, information of the vehicle involved in the accident. The determiner determines whether a communication environment is appropriate for transmission of the information from the transmitter to the server apparatus. The vehicle estimator estimates the injury of the occupant, using the information collected by the collector.

Abstract: An automatic emergency reporting system for a vehicle includes a determiner, a normality transmitter, a detector, and an emergency transmitter. The determiner determines a quality of communication between a communication terminal of the vehicle and a server. The normality transmitter transmits rich information available in the server from the communication terminal in a normal state. The detector detects an emergency of the vehicle. The emergency transmitter transmits emergency information from the communication terminal to the server after the detection. The emergency transmitter transmits the rich information with the emergency information in response to the detection of the emergency of the vehicle in a state in which a status of the communication with the server is satisfactory. The emergency transmitter transmits the emergency information in response to the detection of the emergency of the vehicle in a state in which the status of the communication with the server is not satisfactory.
