The iPhone's crash detection feature has lost control of the control room

After the launch of the new Apple iPhone 14 (apple iPhone 14), we have heard many times in the news about the Crash Detection feature. The crash detection feature has been very enthusiastically received by all as a system that helps save the owner’s life in accidents. Apple is not the first smartphone company to introduce this feature. However, with the adoption of iPhone models, the crash detection feature was also getting a lot of attention.

But now the 911 control room in Warren County, USA is in a state of peace because of this crash detection feature. Calls to 911 are for emergencies. The specialty of the iPhone’s crash detection feature is that it detects an accident and sends a message to the emergency number. This feature is what makes the 911 center so quiet.

For the past few days, the officials here are not even able to work in peace. Apple’s new iPhones are the reason for everything. When you are sitting peacefully, the call of the iPhone will reach the emergency number through crash detection. When he ran and picked it up, he heard screams and so on.

But no matter. The officials who are sitting there now understand very well what the sight is when they run away with that cry. Isn’t that what it is? If you search for the source of this message, fill up the car and set off, you’ll end up at Kings Island Amusement Park in Ohio or any other park nearby.

Now we will find out what happened. Yes, it is the phones of the people riding the various adventure rides in the amusement park that call the emergency number on the assumption that some big accident has happened. Everything is complete when the call of the iPhone is accompanied by the screams of the people sitting on the ride.

You can understand if the call is for something important. This is not the case now. It is not through anyone’s fault that it is confusing the control room authorities. When the roller coaster ride jumps up and down at high speed, the phone realizes that something has happened. The crash detection feature will also send an emergency message accordingly.

A crash detection feature gives the owner ten seconds to react if an accident has not occurred. This feature should be turned off by the owner. But owners cannot respond to this as they are on the ride. This is what makes the problem worse. Officials say that 6-7 such calls are received daily and from all major amusement parks in the city.

Not only in Apple’s new iPhone. The crash detection feature system is also present in the Apple Smart Watch which was released along with this. The iPhones of those riding the 53 km/h rollercoaster sent an emergency message to 911, pretending to be in danger. Most of the phone calls to 911 are pre-recorded messages saying that the owner’s car has been in an accident and is not responding to the phone.

To avoid repeating such fake messages, the authorities are asking the riders of such rides in the park to turn off the crash detection mode or turn on the airplane mode. The recent car accident in which five or six people died was reported by the police through crash detection mode. Immediately after the car accident, the message reached 911 from the iPhone. According to this, the police reached the spot immediately, but five people died. An injured woman was taken to the hospital, but she also died soon after.
