Might lead to a new problem... Someone driving a car when a false crash alert goes off gets distracted by it and ends up having an actual crash.

Does this automated calling of emergency services have any kind of regulatory approval?

It's not a terrible idea, but without being thoroughly thought out it's not a great idea either.

That would happen right now anyways. Right now the very situation you are describing can occur, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at?

It's not a great idea. That's about what I'm getting at.

Don't burden emergency services with beta tests.

That's a really dumb idea considering Apple is not about to pull this capability from the market.

And you had the audacity to call my idea dumb when you come up with an even worse idea that Apple is not going to take into consideration?

Seeing that seen idea is dumb and saying so does not magically obligate me to invent a solution.

I can say that Trump and Biden are dumb without running for president.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that it's not smart thing to waste the resources of emergency services with a poorly thought out tech.

Ok so you’re just admitting you can’t come up with any better ideas. Later genius.
