Google Pixel Car Crash Detection Feature Now Available in India and Other Countries: Here’s the List

Google has recently made an exciting announcement for Google Pixel users in India and other countries, as they have now introduced the crash detection feature. This feature was initially launched for Pixel smartphones in 2019, but it has now been expanded to include Pixel 3 and later versions, where users can find it in the Safety app. Initially, this feature did not gain much recognition until Apple introduced it in the iPhone 14 series. However, Google’s Car Crash Detection feature was only available in a limited number of regions. Fortunately, Google has now expanded its availability to more regions. To find out more about the Google Pixel Crash Detection feature and the list of newly added countries, continue reading.

What is the car crash detection feature?

The Pixel’s Car Crash Detection features use built-in sensors to detect when the user has been involved in a car accident. Using location data, motion sensors and microphones, this feature investigates the odds of a crash and analyzes the situation by waiting 60 seconds for the user to respond, and if they don’t respond, it automatically sends a message to emergency services. The feature can save a lot of lives and be very useful.

This feature is one of the most requested features in emergency situations, but it comes with location and language restrictions. Now, a fresh update says that it will be available in more countries.

According to an X message shared by Mishaal Rahman, Google quietly updated its support page and added five new countries to access Car Crash Detection for Pixel smartphones. India is also part of the new countries. See the list of countries:

• Austria

Now a total of 20 countries can use the car crash detection function. However, the feature still faces language restrictions as Indian users cannot change the language to Hindi. Additionally, 9To5Google reported that the Car Crash Detection feature will be available for the Pixel 4a and later models, which also includes the company’s new foldable smartphones.
