CrashGuard – Car Crash Lifesav
About this app
CrashGuard can detect a car crash and do a handful of operations automatically, like call your friends and family, send them an sms with your location, launch a voice assistant (if your device supports one) and more to come!
The purpose of CrashGuard is to try to save the lives of those involved in a car accident by trying to get them the help they need as soon as possible.
The idea was inspired by many car accidents that happened where there were not many people around to see the accident and help. CrashGuard was made to try to help people in these situations where the people involved lose consciousness/ are unable to seek help from the people around or when the phone’s screen is damaged and therefore are unable to call for help.
People also ask Does iPhone have crash detection? Crash Detection is on by default. You can turn off alerts and automatic emergency calls from Apple after a severe car crash in Settings – Emergency SOS, then turn off Call After Severe Crash. If you have third-party apps registered to detect crashes on your device, they will still be notified.
What is crash detection? In a new support document published today, Apple says the crash detection feature is designed to detect severe car crashes, such as front-impact, side-impact, and rear-end collisions or rollovers involving sedans, minivans, SUVs, pickup trucks, and other passenger cars. Can my phone detect an accident? The car crash detection feature uses your phone’s location, accelerometer sensor, and microphone to automatically detect a car crash. If it thinks you’ve been in a car crash, it will play a loud sound and ask if you need any help. In case of no response, it automatically dials 911 and shares your phone’s location.
