Crash Detection uses a new Gyroscope and Accelerometer available on the iPhone 14 series as well as the new Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra. According to the execs, most part of the feature uses the G Force detection, which determines whether the user has been in a severe car crash. Alongside these new sensors, Apple also includes the GPS to determine traveling speeds, the microphone to monitor the sounds of a crash, and the barometer to detect the change in pressure that occurs when airbags are deployed. But even with all these sensors combined, Apple’s Vice president, Sensing & Connectivity says:
The executives explain that Bluetooth and Carplay could also be used to determine that the iPhone 14 owner is in a car. “On top of that, we added a lot of signals,” says Huang. “Whether it’s road noise or engine noise, we can see that. We can see that the Wi-Fi routers that you’re using are changing very rapidly — faster than if you’re walking or biking and so forth.”
