Google Pixel Car Crash Detection Causes Accidental Calls to 911 Emergency Services
If you've found that your Google Pixel smartphone has called 911 on accident while you're in a car, this feature may be why. ~~~~~ Hi! Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" button on this video, if you can, and join our channel community here - / @explainingandroid Video Description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Google Pixel phones have a built-in safety feature that tries to detect if you've been in a car accident. The feature is called Car Crash Detection and it's been the cause of some unintended phone calls to emergency services. The thing is, there are multiple reports from people within the Android community talking about how inaccurate this feature can be. So I want to use this video to explain what Car Crash Detection is here on the Google Pixel 6 so you can make the decision about whether or not you want this feature on or off. I've read that it is disabled by default, but I'm still seeing people surprised when this feature is triggered. That's likely because of the false positives that we're seeing. For example, I've seen people say this was activated after they came to an abrupt stop. While others have said this has gone off when they tossed the phone in the back seat of their car after parking their car. If you have a modern Google Pixel smartphone then you can find this feature by opening up the Settings application and diving into the Safety & Emergency section. You'll find the option labeled Car Carsh Detection and from here you can choose to enable or disable the feature. Before you go and leave the feature disabled, or manually turn the feature off, realize that this has been known to save people's lives. While it may not be 100% accurate, it could come in handy in those cases of emergency. I can understand someone not wanting their phone to make unwanted calls to emergency services, but you should at least know about the feature so that if something happens you aren't caught off guard. This feature is different than the Emergency SOS feature I mentioned previously. But both are something you should be aware of and know how to use just in case.
