Light sensor. If the phone is in a handbag, there will hardly be any light. If it is in a car or flies away some amount of light would be perceptible by the sen

  Plenty of people leave their phone in their pocket/bag while they’re in the car.

    Of course you are right. It won't work with them then. This feature can never work 100%. The point is to have less false positives. Maybe the feature should ask the user: where do you put the phone normally? handbag, pocket; where while driving? while riding a bike? and the software would use sound, light sensors, based on the answers, etc. Otherwise simply stop this feature, since it is more trouble than it is worth it.

      Surely a false positive is better than a false negative right? Having such restrictive requirements for the call to activate seems like it'd do more harm than good.

        I think exactly the opposite. Having all those fake calls is the harm. Not having this service is the default, so unless it provides a lot of accuracy it should not be implemented. Worst case is real human calls start getting ignored or the response is delayed because of the noise of all these fake calls. This is a serious public safety issue, and it should not be up to a company to decide if they collapse it to sell more phones.
