--- Quote from: Howardlong on January 03, 2022, 07:22:47 pm ---I bought a loaded Hyundai Ioniq PHEV last year. I’ve hardly touched the surface with the buttons and touch screen: frankly when I get in a car, I just want to scoot off, life is too short. A couple of weeks ago, I drew up to a charging point and went about plugging myself in and signing into the charging app. As I went to shut the boot/trunk, I could hear the car’s hands free going: perhaps I’d inadvertently made a call while signing into the charging app. Nope. The car had somehow detected what it thought was a crash, and had automatically called the police, not on my phone, but on a phone in the car I never knew I had. --- End quote --- LOL! :D The more complicated you make a system, the more interesting ways it can fail... :D |

Can't imagine how many false calls they are going to get from this though. |

I just ignored it: it has a protective flap over the top, for all I knew it was going to deploy a parachute or something. |
