Apple explains how Crash Detection works
According to a new supporting document, which is not yet available in German, Crash Detection recognizes various serious car accidents – including frontal, rear and side collisions as well as rollovers. It doesn’t matter which particular car it is: Apple mentions sedans, minivans and SUVs, among other things. In the event of an accident, an alarm sounds and the affected person can use the slider to make an emergency call.
If the user does not react to the warning tone for ten seconds, a ten second countdown starts – without the accident victim having to do anything, the device automatically contacts the emergency services. ’emergency. An audio message is then played in a continuous loop, which refers to the accident. Incidentally, if the user has an iPhone and an Apple Watch, Cupertino gives priority to the watch. The feature is enabled by default and can be disabled in settings if desired.
Required materials and prerequisites
In a nearly three-minute video, the company explains how collision detection works: using a gyroscope, GPS, acceleration sensors, a microphone and sophisticated algorithms, the device recognizes serious car accidents. As a prerequisite, Apple calls the latest version of the operating system. On the hardware side, Crash Detection requires an iPhone 14, an Apple Watch SE (2022), Series 8 or Ultra.
