rizki1, 6 hours ago<\/span>do car manufacturers not have this feature? <\/span>Some do have it preinstalled. But a phone can be on any car so yea. But yea some cars do. I believe tesla has it and most electric smart cars and i think that even some that arent EVs have it too. Ive seen on some normal gasoline car it would be a button. It would be called “SOS” and maybe some even auto call even if the “SOS” isn’t pressed. Not sure but maybe theres cars like that out there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For those that don’t know, this article is not correct.
Google has had this feature for a number of years, it was first introduced into Google Maps, then later baked into PixelOS. Overall it is quite hit and miss (no pun intended) and not very optimized on Android.<\/p>\n

Apple’s implementation is actually better.
However the results of this experiment were flawed. That’s because the feature only becomes activated after a while after you have been driving and the iPhone detects your movement is equal to a car (not bicycle or eScoot). They track your movement through many means, and detect the subtle vibrations that occur inside a car as opposed to the other vehicles I mentioned.<\/p>\n

If you walk with an iPhone, it detects you are walking. If you place that into a junk car, it doesn’t know it is inside a vehicle yet. If you crash that junk car immediately after, the feature still isn’t active. All in all, the experiment was flawed. They needed to actually drive a real car around for a while, then crash it into a tree or something, and then show if the feature was working as intended or if there were issues.
