When several factors are measured, the phone reaches a calculated metric to assume the equation has led to result. The iPhone uses other variables to understand if the user is moving in a car or if they’ve been in a car accident. The accelerometer in the iPhone measures G-force measurements of up to 256Gs. The sensors inside the devices are meant to detect sudden changes in motion and pressure.

The feature has been recently rolled out and is available on the iPhone 14, 14 Pro, Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple Watch Ultra. But there are situations where it works and it shouldn't + others where it doesn't work and it should. There's already proof of it helping in real crashes. My time on the crash-detection beat has proven that the feature can absolutely save a life. The feature has successfully reported some accidents, which notes the impact of the innovation. When making the call the iPhone said: “The owner of this iPhone was in a severe car crash and is not responding to their phone.” If this is not stopped by the user, the phone then proceeds to dial emergency services and an emergency contact – with your last location sent.Īn emergency dispatch officer confirmed receiving the woman’s call.
The feature first shows a ten second warning, before it initiates a ten second blaring alarm. The quick deceleration of a rollercoaster may send a signal to the phone that it’s an abnormal stop, therefore may be ruled as a crash. The feature reportedly detects data from the phone’s accelerometer and GPS sensors.
The phone has a feature to detect a crash, but it seems the metric on the device still needs to be calibrated. A woman got on a roller coaster at the Mystic Timbers amusement park in Ohio and when she got off she realized her iPhone 14 had dialed 911 on its own.
