The word ‘pioneering’ is synonymous with Apple! The company relentlessly pursues innovation, which is why it remains at the top. However, this time it seems to be looking after something even more important: the very lives of those who use its products!
Specifically, as the American giant announced, the new iPhone14 has a ‘Crash Detection’ feature that detects when a driver is involved in a road accident, thanks to a built-in accelerometer that can measure forces of up to 256g and an advanced gyroscope.
What the incredible feature on the iPhone14 can do
According to Apple, these sensors in the device work together with the built-in barometer, microphone and GPS system to detect deceleration forces and sounds that match those produced in a collision.
Automatic emergency call
When this happens, the iPhone 14 automatically makes an emergency call, even if the driver or passengers have lost consciousness or are trapped and cannot reach their mobile phone.
The ‘Crash Detection’ feature also works with an Apple Watch worn on the wrist, which displays an ‘emergency call interface’ in the event of a collision.
Test after test
The ‘Crash Detection’ feature was developed and created following more than one million hours of testing in real-world driving conditions. In fact, to complete its development, the company used extensive data from vehicle crash analyses to cover the widest possible range of scenarios and ensure its reliability.
