Apple crash detection software triggers fake 911 calls
Summary
APPLE CRASH AND FALL TECH INUNDATING 911 DISPATCHERS WITH AUTOMATED CALLS, REPORTS SAY Breckenridge, Colorado, is the largest town in Summit County. "This just sent our dispatch center into overload because all of a sudden, these calls were coming in as ski season ramped up," Summitt County Communications Director Dave Rossi said. But he hopes another upgrade could detect when a person is back up from a crash and cancel the 911 call if the phone picks up continued movement. "It’s nerve wrecking when you get a new type of call, and you can’t make contact with the person who is wearing or carrying the device, it takes you away from other emergencies," April Heinze said. Additional Crash Detection optimizations will be available in an upcoming software release," an Apple spokesperson said.
