Sensor data from your devices are used to detect severe car crashes. All sensor data used to detect severe car crashes is processed on device and discarded after a crash is detected, unless you agree to share your data to improve Crash Detection.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted a study comparing the United States to 28 other high-income countries regarding road safety in 2015 and 2019. This analysis found that in 2019 the United States experienced: More motor-vehicle deaths than any other country.

Cameras are placed throughout the testing site to record the crash both within and outside the vehicle. Once the test vehicle has been prepped, it is placed on a moving sled that is used to simulate a number of crash scenarios, including rear impact, head-on impact, rollovers, and side-impact collisions.

In a collision during which a person dies on impact, the death is usually caused by severe trauma to vital organs, such as the brain and the heart.
