Apple found that Android Auto has appeared in nearly 80% of new vehicles in 2020 alone. According to the tech giant's data, unsafe smartphone usage in cars has allowed the introduction of integration systems like CarPlay and Android Auto. Other connected car services like GM's OnStar, Subaru's Starlink and Fiat's Chrysler Uconnect offer similar features.Ĭiting a report from The Verge, news agency ANI reported that having the crash detecting tool in iPhones will help drivers get immediate help after a mishap, given they have one mounted on their vehicle's dashboard or placed in their pockets. Meanwhile, Google's Personal Safety app, supported on Pixel smartphones already offers the feature to make emergency calls whenever it detects a car crash. Likely to roll out next year, this new feature will also be available in Apple's smartwatches, although the company recently introduced a fall detection tool in Apple Series 4 watches.
