Last month we showed you a couple of Google’s new “True Pixel Story” promotional videos. One showed how the Pixel’s “Car Crash Detection” feature worked in real life to summon help following a car accident. If a Pixel 3 or later detects a car accident, it will vibrate, ring loudly, verbally ask if you’re okay and repeat that question on the screen.
If the Pixel doesn’t get a response within 30 seconds, it turns on its speakerphones and calls emergency services. The call includes a message indicating that there has been an accident and gives the location where it occurred.
