Already, on the Apple Watch, the fall detection system has saved many lives from near-fatal accidents.

Apple added fall detection to the Apple Watch a few years ago allowing users to notify family members and medical services that they had pushed an SOS call or message. Now, using its expertise in harvesting data from the myriad sensors on the Apple Watch and iPhone, Apple is working on a “crash detection” feature that will notify emergency services that you are in a car accident. According to the Wall Street Journal, this feature can be launched in 2022.
Many automakers such as GM’s OnStar, FCA’s UConnect, or Subaru’s Starlink already offer such functionality, but it can be democratized with its presence in the iPhone itself. Apple could combine this feature with its Ironheart project which seeks to bring more core vehicle functions through CarPlay and make it a full-stack interface for a car, not just a phone beaming like a car.

Apple will use data from sensors like the accelerometer and gyroscope on the iPhone and Apple Watch to detect the g-forces of impact, and based on that, it will automatically dial emergency services. Apple has been working on this feature for some time and has been tuning the system from unnamed iPhones and Apple Watches.
It has detected more than 10 million suspected vehicle impacts, of which 50,000 actually call 911. Already, on the Apple Watch, the fall detection system has saved many lives from near-fatal accidents.

Once incorporated into the iPhone, preventive technology will be available to millions of people instead of a handful of connected cars, which are certainly becoming widespread by the day. Chances are, this could be a major part of iOS 16 and watchOS 9.
