App<\/a>le is reportedly working on a feature called \u201ccrash detection\u201d that would notice when you\u2019ve been involved in a car accident and call 911 automatically. This is a new feature that could actually save your life.<\/p>\n

According to a Wall Street Journal<\/a> report, Apple would use the accelerometer sensors in\u00a0iPhones and Apple Watches to sense that a car accident has occurred and alert 911.<\/p>\n

According to documents viewed by WSJ, Apple has been working on the feature for several years, so it definitely wouldn\u2019t be something the company is just throwing together. Obviously, the feature needs to be done correctly, because the last thing Apple would want is to be responsible for a bunch of false 911 calls.<\/p>\n

In testing, Apple has detected more than 10 million suspected crashes, with more than 50,000 of those accompanied by a call to 911. As a car crash is usually accompanied by a call to 911, Apple can use the suspected crashes compared to 911 calls to help make its crash detection feature more accurate.<\/p>\n

This certainly wouldn\u2019t be the first time smartphones have been used to automatically report accidents, with Google introducing it on Pixel 3 devices and OnStar having it for some time. However, it\u2019ll be more widely available if it comes to iPhone and Apple Watch just based on the install base.<\/p>\n

Apple has also dabbled with a similar idea with fall detection on Apple Watch, so it\u2019s not outside of the company\u2019s comfort zone. However, this is all based on leaked documents, so there\u2019s no guarantee the feature becomes a reality.<\/p>\n
