iPhone 14 can detect when a user has been in a car crash and sends an SOS. In some junkyard tests, it did not work.\n <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
As the latest iPhone 14 lineup was announced last month, these new devices have been outfitted with sensors and tech that can detect when a user has been in a car crash.<\/p>\n
According to GSM Arena, The Wall Street Journal recently tested whether they could make the new iPhone trigger the safety feature.<\/p>\n
An iPhone 14 Pro Max and a Pixel 6 were placed in a stationary junk vehicle that was going to be crashed into. The test involved driving a derby vehicle into the parked car and checking which devices triggered Crash detection.<\/p>\n
After crashing the vehicles and seeing mixed results from iPhones and Pixels, Apple was asked for comment.<\/p>\n
For Crash Detection to work, it needs to first detect that the device is inside a moving vehicle. The outlet outlines that an algorithm takes several factors into account for the feature to work.<\/p>\n
\n\t\tB0BDJ3R6QW<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\nMotion sensors detect sudden changes in motion, Microphones can detect loud sounds such as the impact of a crash, the barometer can detect changes in air pressure when airbags are deployed, GPS readings can detect sudden decelerations in a moving vehicle and CarPlay and Bluetooth status can better signal whether the device is actually in a vehicle, reported GSM Arena.<\/p>\n
Crash detection features in both Google and Apple are not able to detect all types of crashes. There’s even a disclaimer right under the Crash Detection setting on new iPhones saying exactly that.<\/p>\n
In all cases, however, the devices need to first be able to detect that it is in a moving vehicle, involving some or all the signals mentioned above, as per GSM Arena.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
