Reply to comment by starsandbribes in Not my best moment, but I can confirm the crash detection on iPhone 14 Pro works as intended by FTorrez81

There was a real world incident a few weeks ago:

And this is from Apple's documentation:

> When your device makes this automatic call, it plays a looped audio message to emergency responders and out loud over your device speakers. This message informs emergency services that your Apple device detected a severe car crash and that you're unresponsive. It also shares your estimated latitude and longitude coordinates with a search radius.

I was wondering how it works. I was guessing more like how I think OnStar works where the vehicles calls OnStar and they call 911 manually. I think that's how that works at least.

It’s an automated call with a Siri voice I think. One of the new commercials plays the audio and says it’s a real call to emergency services
