From seat belts to airbags to Onstar, car safety keeps advancing and it appears that My911’s new phone app is the next step in making your car travel as safe as possible. Technology starts responding to crashes before you or I can- your air bags are fast enough to meet you halfway to the dashboard, for example. The competition to provide the greatest automobile safety has been fierce, and as usual, we the consumers are the winners. Recently, concepts like Onstar have pushed things further, beginning the emergency response process before you could get your phone out of your pocket. The next step has been to get this automatic collision notification on your smartphone, and My911 has done it.
This may seem like it’s asking a bit much of your phone, but that’s the fun of cutting-edge technology. If you’ve seen a teenager on the bus, tilting his phone back and forth, you’ve seen the accelerometer that comes in smartphones in action. This technology also helps track your movement if you have a navigation system, and now My911 has patented a way for it to detect crash level G-forces and automatically get the emergency response ball rolling so that help can arrive as soon as possible.
Since your phone can now sense a car crash, the next logical step is for it to do what you would do anyway, only faster, more precisely, and automatically. Because smartphones also come equipped with GPS, they can not only sense the crash, but explain where you are and how to get there faster than any human, conscious or not.
So what happens if your phone is wrong? You have an opportunity to manually cancel the call. Furthermore, your phone contacts an actual human who will attempt to talk to you, then make your 911 call for you and pass your location on to the emergency response personnel. This is the next step in automotive safety and emergency response. As the versatility of the phone is applied to more and more fields, the peace of mind that one little device provides will continue to grow.
