Shouldn't people who want this have a specific device or service that handles the logistics of rescue, like Onstar? From the looks of it, Apple gets to market

From the looks of it, Apple gets to market this feature but shoves the work off to public rescue services, which are then burdened by false positives due to Apple unilaterally letting their phones dial emergency numbers and putting the onus on the user to handle 'impact classification'.

- LadyCailin 4y agoI don’t think so, no. By this logic, all roads would be toll roads, all schools would be private, etc. I would not like to live in that society. If Android or other device manufacturers had equivalent features, they can have that too. We can discuss what the maximum false positive rate can legally be obliged to be, but I think having it be 0% is not a net positive for society.

Same with this feature on the phone. Of course people won't buy a specific "call the authorities when I get in a crash" -device and carry it with them.
