Promises to try and not get caught this time they mean

End to end encryption you say?

From which ends, if everything remains local. 😏

I mean, maybe? Some day? Using your industrial capabilities to mass manufacture robotic combat drones however is much more likely to happen soon. Democracies don't unlikely to fight wars and when they do, public support can be tenuous. Drones potentially eliminate most of the human cost of warfare for the side deploying them.

"Trust us this 3rd time around..."

I can't foresee how the pros outweigh the cons for auto-dial high speed crash detection devices inside of a known theme park or in a ski resort inbounds. Please enlighten me.

"Do you ever think it's crazy that you have a son?" Is this exchange AI generated?

Let’s say, hypothetically, that it was as bad as 50% false calls, 50% calls that wouldn’t have been made, and that every false call is missing a real call. That’s break even. That means 1 person loses access to emergency services and 1 person gains.

Any better than that and you’re helping more people than you hurt. Obviously the ideal is perfection, and not having any false calls, especially ones that take resources from real people. But it doesn’t take amazing accuracy to improve the net outcome.

If you get data that they’re more likely to be incorrect than a normal call, you can change your prioritization to prioritize a human speaking. Apple can continue to improve their accuracy to minimize false positives. But those improvements are from a situation that’s already better than it not existing.

I prefer a 100 mistaken calls then 1 where the feature didn’t work, im not an Apple fanboy but I absolutely appreciate this feature and I’m sure if I ever get into an accident I’ll be forever thankful that it worked

The auto-dialing is literally the whole point.

The auto-dialing part has to go.

I'd be ok with it if it didn't also text me a lie when it did a false call for my mom.

"CRASH DETECTED SOS

Your Mom called emergency services from this approximate location after iPhone detected a crash."

​

No... the iPhone called 911 on its own after it fell on the ground. I sped across town because of that.

That’s bullshit.

Bumps into something WEEEEE! WOOO! 🤣

Id rather the police go out than someone be dead and they didnt go to cut "cost".

Drone swarms are already a thing I believe. Just not being deployed yet.

Yeah I found out this past weekend that a fast hockey stop apparently looks like a crash.

Well that's a much welcome development I didn't know about. Happy to be wrong in this case, especially with loading custom Roms after support ends.

Support has been upped to three os updates plus two years of security patches for new generations. Basically the lifespan of the hardware. Plus they make it easy to load your own OS if you want to after it stops receiving official support.

You seem like you have really cool takes on life, honestly

I agree, but I also kind of miss the thrill of the chase. And then opening up the baggy to see exactly what it is I just scored. It could be a gamble, but it was kind of fun.

This seems like one of those features where it's probably intentionally designed to err on the side of false positives rather than false negatives. Although as other commenters have noted, then you have to contend with the "boy who cried wolf" effect of those detections being ignored.

Meanwhile, my Android phone power start spamming itself which also lock my screen no stop which make it impossible to cancel the call

That's one of the most terrifying videos I've ever seen. Genuinely made my skin crawl

The challenge with blanketing an area with enough EM to interfere with all possible drones 24x7 is that you risk degrading your own capabilities that require use of EM frequencies.
