One of the new highlighted features of the iPhone 14 Pro and Apple Watch Series 8 is the Crash Detection feature that detects whenever you are in a car crash and automatically calls emergency services and your emergency contacts if you do not respond to the on-screen prompts.

According to Apple,

“When your iPhone detects a severe car crash, it will display an alert and will automatically initiate an emergency phone call after 20 seconds unless you cancel. If you are unresponsive, your iPhone will play an audio message for emergency services, which informs them that you’ve been in a severe crash and gives them your latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates with an approximate search radius.”

Now, TechRax has tested this feature in his new video, and the feature works as advertised. Just like the heart rate monitor and fall detection on Apple Watch have saved so many lives, we think this new feature will help save lives in the future. You can check out his video below.
