bruh this is literally the first thing i wondered when they announced this feature. I figured, these are some of the worlds best engineers. They probably thought of this.
How can apple be so brilliant yet so incompetent at the same time jeez.

It's easy to call people incompetent when something doesn't work perfectly right away but I can imagine it's really facking hard to detect the difference between a tumbling car and a rollercoaster going through a corkscrew. I'm sure Apple did think of this but deciding on the threshold when it is or isn't a crash is really hard and I think they would rather have it be too sensitive than not sensitive enough.

I suspect crashing severely increases the chance of the car not being on the road anymore.
