The Google Pixels are updated with some important news, and any of them could save our lives. After more than a year of waiting, the car crash detection already found available in Europe.
Now our Pixel mobile can automatically call 112 in the event of a car accident, a feature that we must activate from your emergency options, as we will see below.
Enable car crash detection
To activate the detection of car accidents in our Pixel, we need to open the app drawer and touch the app Emergency room. There we will see that we already have the new option enabled Enable car crash detection.
By pressing Activate we will see a little explanation of How it works. It informs us that our Pixel will use location, motion sensors, and ambient sound to detect if an accident has occurred. In the event of an accident, the mobile will vibrate and trigger an alarm at full volume asking if we want to call emergencies. If we do not answer, he will call 112.
To activate the detection of car accidents, several authorizations must be accepted, such as access to our physical activity so that it detects when we are driving, authorization to the location we will always have to allow and not just when the app is in use, and permission to record audio so that the app can listen to and analyze ambient sound.
Once all permissions are accepted, Car Crash Detection will be enabled, a feature that will always work in the background. In addition, it allows us to start a demonstration test, simulating that the mobile has detected an accident so that we can see how it will vibrate and ring and how, with voice commands, we can reject or accept the emergency call.
The Google Pixel will not only call 911, but also will share our location with 112 in case we are unconscious and cannot indicate where we had the accident.
