A YouTuber has tested  Apple’s new crash-detection feature on the new iPhone 14 Pro.

TechRax, a YouTube wither over 7 million subscribers on the platform, specializes in testing out new tech features (which often involves smashing the products) and outfitted a car with a GoPro camera and remote-control system to steer it into junk cars in a field for a new video posted on Tuesday.

The iPhone was taped to the back of the driver’s seat. 

After trying the experiment with just one of the junk vehicles, TechRax lined up multiple so that the car with the iPhone inside wouldn’t miss.

After getting the phone out of the vehicle, an alarm was going off from it with a countdown, showing that the crash detection works.

Apple describes the feature like this: “If your iPhone 14 detects a severe car crash, it can help connect you to emergency services and notify your emergency contacts.”

So if the 20-second countdown reached zero without anyone canceling it, the phone would automatically call emergency services.
