You could probably make a very good guess by just following the routes she takes daily. The guy presumably knew where she was going and probably the way she usually gets there.

Honestly, this probably speaks more to the ambulances staffing crises more than inflated iPhones heroics.

Which is dumb thing we don’t have digital based dispatch for police, fire and ambos. You need someone in call centre to verify it

Using the sensors from the phone (barometer, accelerometer, etc.), you can filter out seeming obvious non-driving trips once you understand what that data looks like.
I suspect we’ll also start to hear stories about apple detecting crashes when people are skiing/snowboarding this winter, as that’s also a common false-positive scenario. Again, using barometer signals and other sensors, you can start to filter those out.

"“There’s a pinball machine, a 1966 electromechanical model we’re just about to put on sale, and we’ll refuse to sell that to nine out of 10 people who contact us because we know it won’t be suitable for them. These machines are like classic cars: they are specialist pieces of equipment and need constant care. If I sell it to someone who just wants a working machine, they’ll be fed up after five minutes – we’ve got to choose the right customer for it. Someone who is able to tinker.”"
Liar. You don't reimport containers of games to NOT sell them.
My second pinball machine was an electromechanical game. Most of them (bingos excepted) are not THAT complicated that an average person couldn't get through them.....they're just lazy and don't want to learn. When you properly rebuild an EM game...they require very little other than being occasionally played to stay in good condition. I haven't had to do 'maintenence' on my Crescendo in 5 years, mechanically speaking.....just the normal cleaning and replacing balls and rubber. If you're too lazy to do that, don't buy pinball machines.
Modern solid state games break just as much 8f not more, are more expensive to repair, and may require SMT soldering skills which is a hell of a lot more of an ask than adjusting a damn leaf switch.

Your toaster does use a reasonable amount power but for a short period of time so realistically it's negligible unless you're using your toaster to try and heat your house.

Either an accident, or a hook-handed killer in the back seat.

On the flip side, my phone automatically called 911 when I ate it on the slopes yesterday, so there is that.

Totally - if the mechanics are solid in the first place it still holds up. Final fight and NBA jam are two shining examples.

How long before we hear about the first idiot who sets his iPhone to send a crash notification out to his wife and his mistress?

It’s better to have a false alarm and have it protect lives at the same time.
