Apple working on new iPhone, Apple Watch feature that detects if you are in a car accident 

Apple would use a motion-sensor to detect whether the person using an iPhone or Apple Watch is involved in a car crash or an accident of any sort.

Apple is reportedly working on another life-saving feature. Apple already has a fall detection feature on Apple Watch that alerts contacts when the user falls down. The other life-saving feature that Apple is reportedly working on is the crash detection feature. This means that your iPhone and Apple Watch will be able to detect when you are in a car crash and dial the emergency numbers automatically. As per Wall Street Journal, the feature will be rolled out to the iPhones and Apple Watch next year.

Wall Street Journal has reviewed the documents that claim that a crash detection feature would be rolled out to iPhones and Apple Watch. The Crash Detection feature will “use data from sensors built into Apple devices including the accelerometer to detect car accidents as they occur, for instance by measuring a sudden spike in gravity, or “g,” forces on impact”, the report reads. Apple would use a motion-sensor to detect whether the person using an iPhone or Apple Watch is involved in a car crash or an accident of any sort.
