The Wall Street Journal reported that the car accident detection automatic alarm function that has been previously launched in the Android system seems to be that Apple is also preparing to provide similar functions in the system used by Apple Watch and even iPhone.

If it can be provided on mobile devices, it may be able to further support more vehicles (after all, not every vehicle has this function), or even serve as a backup solution.
According to reports, such a function should be expected to be seen next year – I wonder who will debut in Taiwan sooner than the Android version?
