By the end of last year, Google will be able to detect the location of the mobile phone, motion sensors and nearby sounds to determine whether the user has encountered a serious car accident and call the police.It has been brought to use by Google mobile phone users including Pixel 3 and above in Taiwan.. Although I haven’t heard of any life-saving stories so far, I personally think that this kind of insurance function that can be used in case of use should be a good function that many people hope to get. Now, there are signs that this feature will no longer be limited to Google Pixel phones! Continue reading Android car accident detection seems to be ready to be pushed to “non-Pixel” phones.
Android car crash detection appears to be rolling out to “non” Pixel phones
I saw that Google has pushed the Car Crash Detection function to users of its Pixel phones. Since it was enabled, there have been cases of accidents caused by active alarms.The case for saving driving. I believe that not only Google mobile phone users with Pixel 3 and above will basically activate this function as long as they know that it is available; even ordinary Android users should very much hope that Google can open mobile phones other than their own children to also obtain such an accident detection function, adding a layer of emergency accident protection for driving safety.
With the opening to Taiwan Pixel users at the end of last year, someone has now seen through the 2022.05.25 version of the program code updated by the “Personal Safety” App that the words “nonpixel” or “non-Pixel” appear in the car collision detection function. This is also consistent with the fact that Mishaal Rahman, a technology media editor who is paying attention to the progress in this area, recently discovered that Google has launched a research and development recruitment for this function.
From all these signs, he also estimates that such a feature should be available to ordinary Android users (I don’t know whether it will start with Android 12 or Android 13). You can really look forward to it! Next, we will also give you a preview of how to turn on this function.

How to activate and use Android car accident detection feature
This feature can be found in the “Safety and Emergency Assistance” settings (you can find it by searching for “Crash Detection” in the settings). When you turn on this feature, you will see some system instructions, which basically state that there is a possibility of detection errors – but the detection logic should be gradually improved after receiving feedback from users. You can also activate the demonstration mode provided by the system to understand how it operates.
To put it simply, this is the vehicle version of the fall detection function. When it detects that you may be in a car accident, the system will push a countdown screen and vibrate your phone + voice to ask you whether you want the situation to be “emergency” or to “cancel” the emergency alarm (but if you turn on mute, you won’t hear this prompt XD). Depending on the urgency of the situation, you will be able to respond via voice reply or drag and select the options at the bottom of the touch screen to handle the corresponding emergency or false alarm cancellation.
