What Is Pixel’s Car Crash Detection Feature And How To Use It In India.
Delhi: Google introduced the feature on the Pixel 4 in 2019. The feature was initially available in select countries, but it is now rolling out to users in Austria, Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland, and India. In India, the safety feature will only be available on specific Pixel models, such as the Pixel 4a, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro.
For users in international markets, the feature is also available in Pixel 4a and all later models, including the Pixel Fold. It is important to note that the feature is currently accessible in only 11 languages, including English, Danish, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, and others. Unfortunately, the car crash detection feature is not yet available in Hindi.
For this feature to operate, access to your phone’s location, physical activity, and microphone is necessary. Should your phone detect a crash, it will automatically contact emergency services on your behalf. This call relies on Android’s Emergency Location Service and may share details about your location and the incident.
To activate the car crash detection feature on your Pixel devices, access the “Personal Safety” app, go to “Features” and go to “Car crash detection”. Enable the feature by enabling location and microphone services in the setup process.
