Apple Is Bringing Car Crash Detection to iPhone, Apple Watch; Will Auto-Dial 911

According to reports, Apple is developing a new iPhone and Apple Watch feature that can detect whether you are in a car accident and automatically dial 911. The current plan is to launch such a feature next year. The Google personal safety app on Pixel phones already includes a feature to ask for help when a car accident is detected, just like connected car services in modern cars, including General Motors’ OnStar, Subaru’s Starlink and Fiat Chrysler’s Uconnect.

Many cars on the road today are not equipped with any connectivity, so collision detection on the iPhone also means that more drivers can get the help they need in the event of an accident, as long as they are in their pockets or installed on the dashboard. According to Apple, the increase in the use of unsafe smartphones in cars makes way for integrated systems such as CarPlay and Android Auto, the former appearing in nearly 80% of new cars in 2020.

Building the new collision detection function together with CarPlay into the iPhone can support Apple’s rumored IronHeart project and connect its phone to the car’s settings, just like HomeKit controls smart speakers and lighting.

Aiming at the annual revenue stream of US$2 billion (approximately Rs 14,915 crore) that General Motors brings through OnStar through built-in functions will be what Apple has to do.
