Crash detection is one of those features you forget about having on your watch or phone, but it makes a huge impact when it's needed.

I was in a serious car accident in 2008 in my BMW ($30k in car damage, $185k in medical bills) and when I got out of the car and called 911, they told me that the car had already called them and they were on the way. It’s 15 years later and most cars STILL don’t have this feature, so it’s great to have something that does. It will and has saved lives.
