Google’s Personal Safety app on Pixel phones already includes a call for help when detecting an auto accident, like services on a number of modern vehicles, including GM’s OnStar, Subaru Starlink and Fiat Chrysler Uconnect.

Many cars on the road today aren’t equipped with any connectivity features, so crash detection on an iPhone means more drivers can get the help they need in a crash. accident.

Pixel collision detection

According to Apple, the rise of unsafe smartphone use in cars has paved the way for the arrival of integrated systems like CarPlay and Android Auto, with CarPlay appearing in nearly 80% of new cars by 2020. Building a new collision detection feature into the iPhone alongside CarPlay could be part of Apple’s rumored “IronHeart” project, which will connect its phones to car settings in the same way that HomeKit controls speaker and smart light controls.

While Apple’s crash detection doesn’t always work as intended, the company has had years to collect data and analysis on iOS and watchOS users. It remains to be seen how accurately Apple will be able to detect car crashes.
