Apple’s new technology will give warnings before automobile accidents occur. This technology will take place on some devices, including the iPhone 14.
How Apple’s New Technology Works While driving or traveling in a vehicle, the gyroscope, accelerometer, motion sensor, GPS, barometer, microphone in iPhone devices work together. The accident detection system detects the accident with the coordinated operation of these features.
After the accident occurs, a warning appears on the screen of your device for 10 seconds. If a person is able to respond to this warning, it is enough to swipe the screen to call the emergency service. If the situation is not very urgent or if the system has been activated by mistake, simply turn off the warning. However, if you do not take any action after 10 seconds, the system starts a 10-second countdown. At the end of this period, the system informs the emergency service.
When reaching the emergency room, Siri sends the message at 5-second intervals: “The owner of this device was in a serious car accident and is not answering his phone.” After giving this message, Siri reports the latitude, longitude, search radius and estimated location of the accident location to the emergency service via your device’s speaker. At first, the warning sound is very loud. This warning sound decreases so that you can talk to the emergency services later. Siri’s message keeps repeating until you hit the stop message option. If you have set your relatives to be contacted in an emergency, these people will also be informed after this 10-second countdown.
According to Apple, this system detects front, side and rear bumps and rollovers. Which Devices Support the Accident Detection System?
