iPhone 14 Pro crash detection test: When Apple announced the iPhone 14 series earlier this month, the company also announced a very interesting feature called crash detection. The company said that in case of a car accident, this feature gets activated automatically. After detecting an accident, the feature will automatically call emergency services and police officers and inform them not only of the accident but also of the location. This feature can prove to be a lifesaver for those who find themselves in this situation. But the question is, does this feature work as claimed? A YouTuber named TechRax decided to find out whether iPhone 14 crash detection was just a sham or if it was working properly.
YouTuber TechRex posted a 6-minute, 27-second video titled 'Does iPhone 14 Pro Crash Detection Work? - Car Crash Experience. In the video, he builds a setup to test how the iPhone 14 Pro reacts in the actual crash scenario. The setup included an old car with an iPhone 14 Pro and several scrapped cars to crash into. During the video, he tested crash detection multiple times to see if the feature worked.
Let us tell you that no one ever drove the car during the entire video. Instead, it was controlled remotely. They set it up so that the accelerator pedal can be activated remotely and the car can continue to move without a driver. He also shot the entire video in an open field so that no one was around when it was recorded.
During the video, the car didn't hit the barrier of cars scattered in front of it at first as it spun to the right or left, so the YouTuber added more cars and blocked the steering wheel so it could go straight, and after The crash happened and the TechRex video showed that the crash detection feature works! The crash detection feature of the iPhone 14 Pro automatically started calling emergency services.
So, while testing shows that the feature works, it cannot be said how strongly it will work in an unsafe real-life condition, but this life-saving feature should always be used while driving or traveling. should be on.
