Microsoft’s Cortana Calls Massachusetts Police for Car Accident in the UK

[Batu69]

Personal assistant Cortana to the rescue in car crash

Unsurprisingly, the dispatcher working for the police department had no idea where the caller was and was unable to locate her on the map.

“Where are you?” she first asked. “Alright, can you give me a landmark?” she then continued, trying to locate her, while also adding that “I’m having a little trouble hearing you.”

After trying a few more times to provide more details and landmarks about her location, the woman involved in the car crash asks: “Where have I called?” Here’s the rest of the conversation:

Operator: You’ve called the Barnstable Police Department.

Caller: Yeah.

Operator: In Massachusetts.

Caller: In Massachusetts?

Operator: Yes, Massachusetts.

Caller: There’s no way you can help me then from there.

Operator: Where exactly are you calling from?

Caller: England.

Operator: I’m sorry, but our response time is going to be about six hours.

And in case you’re wondering why exactly the dispatcher couldn’t hear the woman clearly enough, it was because she had a British accent.

Good job, Cortana!
