Cars Crash Detection is, thankfully, a life-saving feature mostGoogle Pixelowners don’t know about. Using the motion sensors of Pixel phones, it can call the emergency services and share your location if a crash is detected and the driver is unresponsive.
Now, it looks likeGoogleis about to bring the feature to all otherAndroidhandsets, via a future software update.
The code, which appears to be a dialogue box that will be shown to users of the app, also states how Personal Safety “may not be able to detect all crashes, and high impact activities may activate car crash detection.”
Car Crash Detection has been available exclusively to Pixel owners since early 2020, so it’s great news for owners of otherAndroidhandsets, from the likes ofSamsung, who can now make use of the feature.
