Blue tooth in cars and phones

[iMore Question]

Hi there Apple People. All cars have Bluetooth today , and so do our phones. If the car gets into an accident, and the airbags are deployed, can our phones call our next of kin.

Why wouldn't it be able to, unless the device was damaged in the crash? If the car is no longer running, the Bluetooth connection will be severed and thus you can make and receive calls like you normally would when not connected via Bluetooth.
