Mercedes Has Developed a QR Code System to Help Rescue Workers

Often times, rescue workers have to wait longer than they want to to get a person out of a car after a crash because they're busy looking up guidelines on how to cut the car apart without doing very bad things, like severing pressurized lines and such. Mercedes has now created a system by which first responders could find one of two QR codes on the car, scan it, and immediately have all the important information without having to page through physical manuals or run internet searches. This could stand to reduce response time and make it so the rescue workers could apply first aid to the wounded more quickly.
