## Resource

When your iPhone thinks you’re in a plane crash after you drop it off a Vermont cliff, it’s a wild mix of tech mishap and lifesaving tech. While it triggered a dozen emergency alerts (and confused responders), the same feature recently saved a Mississippi teen in a car wreck—sending help before he even knew he was hurt. Apple’s crash detection gives you 10 seconds to cancel, then calls for help if you don’t—and even lets you send medical info to responders. It’s a feature that’s both a hero and a goof, and Apple’s already working to make it smarter. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
