A new iPhone 14 feature is causing some issues for emergency personnel near amusement parks, according to an article by cnet.com and the Wall Street Journal, WLWT reports. According to the report by CNET, the iPhone 14’s new Crash Detection feature, which is intended to automatically alert emergency personnel when it calculates that it’s been in a car accident, is reportedly experiencing its own accident on roller coasters by unintentionally dialing 911.
The report says the feature uses sensors to detect an impact and will automatically connect the person wearing it to emergency services. If the wearer doesn’t dismiss the call within 20 seconds, an audio message informs emergency services of the crash and provides its location. The feature is also offered on the latest version of the Apple Watch.
According to the article, the feature seems to have created a bit of a headache for emergency personnel near amusement parks.
