How car crash detection works in an emergency — and which phones have the life-saving technology

ABC  

It only took emergency services eight minutes to respond to a car crash early on Monday morning in Tasmania's north, after one of the passengers' phones detected the incident and made the call. As you could guess, crash detection technology is designed to detect severe car crashes and alert emergency services. It's automatic for iPhones but Pixel users need to enable it Although Apple made crash detection popular, it is not the only brand with life-saving technology. While crash detection is available at no extra cost, Apple's satellite SOS feature — which is not yet in Australia —is free for two years and then will incur an extra cost.
