Car crash detection may soon shed its Google Pixel exclusivity

The Pixel 4 was full of firsts for Google, and aside from that Soli radar chip and all its Jedi-style antics, the phone introduced us to Google's automatic car crash detection. The idea may seem trivial to some, but it can legitimately be a lifesaver in a crash, alerting emergency services if the user's not able to do so. Sadly, the feature has remained a Pixel-exclusive almost three years after its debut, and is further limited to the Pixel 3 and later. That all may be set to change soon, though, as clues in Personal Safety's latest update hint at wider availability.
