Google tests automatic car crash detection for the Pixels on Android Q
While the strings hint towards automatic detection of a car crash, it is unclear how exactly such detection would be achieved. Google could resort to using data from the accelerometer and the microphone, but even this may not be fool-proof with its detection. The strings also do not reveal what happens once a crash is detected — we’re guessing the app could alert first responders or the listed emergency contacts on the phone.
Makes a lot of sense as Android already knows when you are in driving mode versus walking somewhere vs sitting at home. It does already have the emergency contacts all setup and ready.
