Enhanced Safety Features of the Pixel Watch 2
When the Pixel Watch 2 senses a possible crash, it will start a response procedure that includes vibrating to alert the wearer, sounding an alarm, and showing a message on the screen asking the user if they need help. If the user doesn’t answer within a certain amount of time, the watch immediately calls 911 and tells them where the user is.
Google’s skills in artificial intelligence and machine learning make the Pixel Watch 2 able to identify car accidents. The watch’s accelerometer and gyroscope work together to detect quick changes in motion and impact, which are signs of a car accident.
This information is checked in real time to assess how bad things are and decide whether to send an emergency response.
Google has ensured that user privacy and control remain top priorities because it knows how sensitive this feature is. Through the Pixel Watch 2 settings, users can directly turn on or off the ability to detect car accidents.
Also, all data related to detecting car accidents is processed locally on the Pixel Watch 2, which keeps personal data from being shared or kept without a reason.
The Pixel Watch 2’s feature to identify car accidents is designed to work with other Google services and the Pixel ecosystem.
For example, if the watch senses a crash, it can send important information to the user’s Google account and call people they have chosen as emergency contacts. This combination shows that Google is serious about making its users’ experience cohesive and helpful.
