The next iPhone and Apple Watch will be able to detect car accidents and call emergencies

The other day We talked in the Podcast about the Apple Watch's fall detection function. A function that can save people's lives since as soon as the Apple Watch detects a fall it will ask its user if it is okay, and if not it will automatically make an emergency call. Today we get another interesting application of this fall detection. And is that several reports confirm that next year the iPhone and Apple Watch will be able to detect car accidents. Keep reading that we give you all the details.

It must be said that this is not a crazy idea, currently all vehicles have to have emergency warning systems after accidents, some cars have systems that activate it automatically when any of the other accident protection systems are activated, and others still they ask us to do it manually. Apple would like to go further and allow fall detection to be the source of accident detection. Apple has conducted studies collecting (from users who have consented) information from people who have used the automatic emergency call and have concluded to have detected more than 10 million people involved in vehicles of which 50.000 included an emergency call.

Necessary? Really everything that can help us in complicated situations such as an accident traffic always comes in handy. It is a situation in which we can sometimes have our limited mobility, and being able to make automatic calls either because the iPhone or the Apple Watch has detected unusual gravitational forces, or that we are the ones who activate the call through Siri, it will always help us. And you, Have you ever had to use Apple's automatic call? Do you remember her or do you always end up calling 112 over the phone? we read you ...

    A couple of weeks ago I mentioned something very strange that happened to me with the AW in the Telegram group. I went to an MTB race and in a moment of distraction I made a U-turn at almost a man's pace and fell off my bike. The AW detected the fall and instantly asked me if I was okay and if I wanted to call XNUMX. The truth is that great!
    The funny thing is that already in competition I had a very strong fall at 40 km / h, I was a few minutes on the ground until I was able to rejoin but the AW never detected the incident.
