is the new Crash Detection feature, which launches an emergency SOS function if it detects that a user is somehow involved in a serious accident. To see whether this is the case or not, one person actually staged a controlled vehicle collision to find out.
For the test, YouTuber TechRax and his team have somehow rigged a car so that its accelerator can be activated remotely, though it could only move forward as there’s no way for them to control its steering. Not wanting to have an actual person involved in the crash, the team attached an iPhone 14 Pro to the back of the front passenger seat while a GoPro is installed in the back to document the entire experiment.
The first time attempt managed to activate the feature, but not after what appears to be a short delay. It is unclear whether this is by design or an overlooked flaw from Apple, as the promotional video shown during the company’s Far Out event suggests that Crash Detection would trigger immediately after a collision.
While TechRax’s experiment did not involve anyone driving the car and was conducted in a seemingly isolated location, we strongly advise our readers not to imitate such attempts as it could still endanger unsuspecting bystanders and/or cause damage to public property. Also not forgetting the fact that triggering the SOS call irresponsibly would only cause inconvenience to first responders when there’s no actual emergency occurring.
