Crash Detection

Experiment

Technology is honestly one of the most impressive things out there as every year, there seems to be something that impresses us all.
In fact, because of technology, safety measurers have also been increasingly improving such as fall detection or even crash detection being a thing in most phones or even smart watches lately.

&nbsp;
Recently, the iPhone 14 was just released alongside the new Apple Watch which featured a new Crash Detection feature. The feature&rsquo;s purpose is that when a user is somehow involved in a serious accident and the phone or watch detects it, it will launch an emergency SOS function.
But how well does this function work?

Man stages a controlled vehicle collision to find out

&nbsp;
YouTuber TechRax had his curiosity peaked and decided test out the feature for himself. He and his team had rigged a vehicle to they can control the accelerator remotely and intentionally crashed the car (of course without having anyone inside).

&nbsp;
Of course, we can&rsquo;t expect a high-level kind of production such as something out of Mythbusters where the use dummies with patches to detect impact forces on them. TechRax had taped the iPhone to the back of the headrest and prompted to control the car to crash into a set of wrecked vehicles to see if the phone will prompt the Crash Detection feature.
According to Apple during their Far Out event, they stated that the Crash Detection feature would trigger immediately after a collision. TechRax had done a few crashes test to see if the phone would trigger and on their first attempt, they successfully got the phone to trigger. On camera, the crash did not look that fast as crashed came to a full stop pretty quickly. But it was noted that there was a short delay before it prompted it and most were not sure why it took that long.

&nbsp;
On their second attempt, they crashed the car into a pile of cars which led the car to come to a full stop as it wedged itself between the two wrecked vehicles. As the team scrambled to get the phone, it was heard that the phone was omitting a loud alarm stating that the Crash Detection was triggered and it was on its countdown mode to call SOS.

&nbsp;
Is this function useful?
In short, yes, it is useful. This feature has been around for a while now on the Apple iWatch now and during its recent addition to the iPhone 14. Users will be prompted a message on-screen and they have up to 10 seconds to cancel it before an SOS call is made.

&nbsp;
For those who own an iWatch, you can also assign it to inform your assigned emergency contact when a fall is detected. It will prompt a message/ call to the emergency contact with the exact location of where the fall happened.
If you&rsquo;re not an Apple user, don&rsquo;t worry as this feature isn&rsquo;t exclusive to Apple as some brands such as Samsung have also adopt a feature like this for their wearables. Regardless, features like this are certainly great in case anything happens but I wonder, what happens if you didn&rsquo;t realise your phone fell and it triggers an SOS call? Guess we&rsquo;ll have to find out soon enough.
