The highlight features of the new iPhone – car crash detection and SOS alerts, are really useful.
And it happened immediately abroad, and it became a hot search.
But what I didn’t expect was that this iPhone 14 flew out of the motorcycle and automatically sent a text message to notify the family and call the police.
People are good and all right, and relatives and friends say they have been scared to death.
Really big Oolong incident.
what happened?
Have a scary day.
As usual, Douglas Sonders rode his beloved motorcycle from New York City to the West Side Freeway in Manhattan.
In this way, the speed is maintained at around 60 mph (about 97km/h), driving on the highway.
Unexpectedly, the motorcycle drove over the bump on the road and bumped a little, and the newly bought iPhone 14 Pro Max was bumped out.
The main reason is that the mobile phone holder used by this little brother has not yet released a new adaptation version. As an alternative, he put a piece of adhesive on the back of the iPhone case, which was attached to the stand.
After the phone flew out, the Bluetooth headset immediately reminded him: “Your phone is disconnected”, and the music stopped playing immediately.
Since it was on the highway, he couldn’t stop to look for his phone, so he just walked away.
After he left, the iPhone 14 did the following:
-
Sent a text message to all pre-set “family members” in the contacts, informing them that the younger brother had a car accident;
-
Call 911 automatically.
After the little brother’s girlfriend received the text message, he planned a 4-hour drive to find him where the phone dropped; his girlfriend, brother and mother even called all the hospitals in New York City to find out his whereabouts .
As a result, he was safe and sound. After 45 minutes of missing contact, he called his family and told them that he was fine.
Afterwards, he also tweeted about the experience, and many netizens commented “laughing and crying” below.
The lost phone was later found, with the body intact, but the front screen was crushed.
In short, it really tested the car capabilities of the new iPhone through Oolong.
This is also the latest two major functions in the release of the iPhone 14, which are related to cars and connected to traffic.
Collision detection and SOS emergency contact.
The iPhone 14 is equipped with a new dual-core accelerometer and a high dynamic range gyroscope, which can detect violent acceleration or deceleration movements of up to 256Gs, and will help you call for help once it is judged that you have suffered a serious car accident.
At the same time, barometers can be used to monitor changes in air pressure inside the cabin, GPS can identify more data on speed changes, and microphones can identify typical noises from car crashes.
This feature can also be seamlessly linked with the latest Apple Watch. When a major car accident is detected, the Apple Watch screen will directly display the emergency services call interface. If a minor car accident is detected, it will make a call through the iPhone, as much as possible. Guaranteed connection quality.
Apple also said that the feature, which relies on advanced algorithms “trained with over a million hours of real driving” and a variety of crash data, is expected to minimize false positives and prevent them from tying up emergency services, and users themselves can cancel false positives .
Before that, Apple had collected data on suspected impacts shared anonymously by iPhone and Apple Watch users in order to test the feature.
At the time, Apple had also been using data from 911 calls to improve the accuracy of its collision detection algorithms in order to determine whether those collisions were car accidents.
However, judging from this Oolong incident, the accuracy of this algorithm needs to be improved.
Not only motorcycles, but also cars can be detected
Some foreign netizens have also tested this collision detection function.
In a no-man’s land in the wild, YouTube blogger @TechRax tied his iPhone 14 Pro to the headrest of the driver’s seat and remotely controlled the car, causing two car accidents.
The first collision, the driving speed is not too fast.
After the collision, the younger brother immediately got into the car to check, and after a delay of about 10 seconds, a screen like this appeared on the mobile phone, reminding him that “you seem to have been involved in a car accident”.
Immediately afterwards, the mobile phone made a harsh alarm sound, and the SOS countdown was started immediately.
In the second crash, the car was faster and more violent, and smoke came out after the collision.
The picture taken by the GoPro in the car is as follows:
The iPhone also detected the collision this time, and the page automatically displays a 10-second countdown. If it is not canceled in time, the system will automatically notify the emergency contact to call the police.
Judging from the actual video of the little brother, the collision detection function of the iPhone is really easy to use, and it can even save lives in an emergency.
Some netizens also said that this feature of the iPhone is preparing for the Apple smart car.
So now, it’s just a car.
