The accident detection feature in the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8 works on rides in American amusement parks.
A system that recognizes trains on a roller coaster as an accident and calls the rescue service on its own. garden calls have been recorded at amusement parks in Ohio and Chicago.
It is known that at least once the rescue service went to the Kings Island amusement park on a false call. The iPhone 14 itself was in 911 and sent the coordinates to Sarah White while she was at the amusement park. When the woman discovered the 911 call, she called back and explained the whole situation.
An Apple spokesperson said the crash detection algorithms have been validated using millions of accident and crash test data, and the feature itself is “extremely accurate at detecting major crashes.”
He also added that the technology “provides peace of mind” and that Apple is providing refinement. [The Wall Street Journal]
