The car could automatically contact emergency services if involved in a serious accident and report the location and speed/type of collision (head on/hit from rear/side impact etc.) You could also add a panic button for use in a car jacking scenario. Provide a way to contact breakdown and recovery services with information taken from the cars own diagnostics as to possible faults again including location data. Allow the owner to remotely turn on the heating or AC before they get to the car from a phone/tablet/computer.And plenty of other systems that are currently integrated on some premium models or as extras on other cars all though a simpler and more universal interface.
