Apple iPhone 14 Crash Confusion: Car Crash or Rollercoaster?

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/apple-iphone-14-crash-confusion-car-crash-or-rollercoaster/

Apple iPhone 14 Crash Confusion: Car Crash or Rollercoaster?

When it comes to new technology and apps, you can usually follow the same adage for new cars: don’t buy the first year. This is because, despite as much testing as a manufacturer can and will do, the real world will always find something no one ever considered. Though, if it’s something that’s meant to save your life or protect you from theft, like in the case of Toyota’s bZ4X wheel ejection issues, you expect it to work as intended from the start. Unfortunately, it seems that the Apple’s Crash Detection feature of the iPhone 14 and Series 8 Watch might not be working quite as its intended, being triggered by events like dropping your phone from a moving motorcycle, or just riding a rollercoaster.

The main case WSJ points out is that of Sara White, an iPhone 14 owner who went to an amusement park called Kings Island just outside Cincinnati. The roller coaster in question, the Mystic Timbers ride, is a wooden roller coaster that’s capable of sustaining speeds of up to 53 mph and a main drop of 98 feet and sixteen other “airtime” drops through the roughly two minute ride. It also has a rather rapid deceleration to nearly a full stop just before the shed that ends the ride. It turns out that as well as many of the jarring movements of some coasters is enough to trigger Crash Detection to start its 10 second countdown. If you’ve secured your phone inside a fanny pack, as Sara White did, you won’t be able to reach it while you’re on the ride and it will call emergency services as well as text those you’ve chosen to notify about your doomed drive.

While this seems innocuous, the non-emergency call is taking up the phone line of the operators at those 911 stations, potentially blocking someone who is in an actual emergency and delaying precious seconds to come to their rescue. The other issue at hand is that it’s not just roller coaster rides that cause false triggers of the Crash Detection software on the iPhone 14 and Series 8 Watch. Just dropping the phone while driving or even just after a trip can trigger the life saving technology, which has already been credited for saving a life in Nebraska where a car hit a tree and no one was around to call 911.

We reached out to Apple to see if they have a fix on the way but did not respond in time for publication. For now, the only advice is to turn off the Crash Detection feature—potentially negating its life saving functionality for anyone who forgets to turn it back on—turn off the devices, put your them in airplane mode, or just store them somewhere they won’t see those jarring motions while you ride in a car on the road or on the roller coaster at your favorite amusement park.

5 things to know about Boeing’s problems over new airplane

5 things to know about Boeing’s problems over new airplane Investigators at a lab in France and a field in Ethiopia are looking for clues into the second deadly accident involving Boeing’s newest jetliner, while DNA testing has started to identify the remains of victims. As the investigation proceeds, more details have emerged suggesting similarities between Sunday’s crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 jet and another deadly Max 8 accident in October. Here are five things to follow as the investigation continues. THE INVESTIGATION: Experts on Friday in France began analyzing the so-called black boxes from Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, which plummeted to the ground shortly after takeoff from Addis Ababa.

Boeing 737 Damaged Engine Preliminary satellite data suggests that the jet’s flight path was similar to that of a Lion Air Max 8 that crashed Oct. 29 in Indonesia. The Indonesian investigation focuses on whether flight-control software embedded in the plane automatically pushed the nose down repeatedly, and whether the pilots knew how to fix the problem. Earlier this week, investigators searching the wreckage in Ethiopia found a part that controls tail surfaces used to make the plane rise or descend. The surfaces, called horizontal stabilizers, were tilting up, which would have caused the plane’s nose to drop, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity. The person was not permitted to disclose details of the investigation that have not been made public. The 737 Max has flight-control software that can automatically tilt the stabilizers if sensors detect that the plane is in danger of losing aerodynamic lift from the wings, which is necessary to stay aloft. That is suspected in the Lion Air accident. It is too early to know whether the software or something else tilted the stabilizers up on the doomed Ethiopian plane. THE FIX Boeing shares were hammered all week but got a small bump Friday after a report by the Agence France-Presse news agency that the company will produce an upgrade to the Max’s flight-control software in 10 days. That would be quicker than expected. An airline industry official told The Associated Press that Boeing has indicated it is more likely to be two to four weeks. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Boeing’s conversations with airline officials were not intended to be made public. Boeing declined to comment and Charles Bickers, an airline spokesman, referred the AP to the company’s previous statement, which said only that the upgrade would be completed “in the coming weeks.” WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG? Boeing executives and technical experts briefed pilots at U.S. airlines that fly the Max in November about the plane, less than a month after the Lion Air crash. They mentioned changes in the flight-control software, indicating that Boeing was already at work on a solution.

Boeing 737 Max Ethiopian Airlines Boeing aimed to finish the work in April. Boeing has declined to say whether the Ethiopian Airlines crash gave new urgency to finish the work, but experts have said that is a safe bet. “They were working toward a solution. They didn’t expect the Ethiopians to lose their jet while all this was going on,” said Alan Diehl, a former investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board. Boeing won’t comment on the time it has taken engineers to finish the work, but Diehl and industry officials familiar with the situation say it isn’t as easy as upgrading an iPhone. Engineers had to find out what the system was doing on the Lion Air flight, how the system’s commands appeared to pilots, what changes needed to be made to software, manuals and training, and the best way to make those changes. Then they had to write new software code, test it — first in the lab, then on a 737 Max simulator, finally in a flying plane. And they had to be sure that the modifications didn’t affect other flying characteristics of the plane. “Whenever you change this stuff you better be damn sure you don’t create some other problem,” Diehl said. “I think they are being very methodical.” COST FOR BOEING The two deadly crashes and the worldwide grounding raise two risks for Boeing: financial losses and a reputational damage. Analysts think Boeing can overcome both if the company convinces regulators relatively quickly that the problems with the plane and its flight-control software, and there are no more accidents.

Norwegian Air CEO Bjorn Kjos has said his airline will seek compensation from Boeing. Others carriers say it’s too early for them to say whether they will because they cannot yet estimate lost revenue and extra costs. Those numbers depend on how long the planes end up parked. Boeing already faces lawsuits over the Lion Air crash, and lawyers say the second crash strengthens their argument that Boeing knew the plane was defective and let it fly anyway. Investigators haven’t determined the cause of either crash, but Boeing would face large payouts to the families of passengers if the Max plane is found to be at fault. Boeing has $7.6 billion in cash, but new revenue could face a hit because the company suspended deliveries of the Max on Thursday. TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS There are about 370 Max jets now parked at airlines around the world, including 72 in the United States. Because the Max is so new, it accounts for a small percentage of the global fleet of about 24,000 airliners. In the U.S., Southwest is likely to be most affected because its 34 Max 8s represent nearly 5 per cent of the carrier’s fleet and a slightly higher percentage of the airline’s passenger-carrying capacity. Southwest cancelled 170 of its roughly 4,000 flights Friday, and “the vast majority” were due to the Max, said spokesman Chris Mainz. American Airlines cancelled about 85 flights Friday because of the groundings — some scheduled for its 24 Max 8s and others on planes being used to fill in for the now-parked Max 8s. United Airlines, which has 14 Max 9s that are parked, cancelled five flights scheduled for the planes on Friday and used other planes to add four flights to Hawaii for displaced passengers, said spokeswoman Erin Benson. The airline said in a securities filing Friday that the financial and operational impact of the grounding will increase if it lasts into the peak summer travel season. Helane Becker, an airlines analyst with the Cowen Research financial services company said if the planes are grounded for a long time, ticket prices could rise because there will be fewer seats for sale if demand remains steady. Southwest experienced a bookings decline last year fall after one person was killed by a piece of engine debris on a flight last year. The Max 8 crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia killed 346 people. Travel insurance companies expect a record number of claims from travellers whose flights scheduled on the Max planes have been cancelled. —— David Koenig can be reached at http://twitter.com/airlinewriter Comments Join the conversation → As OECD rules were brought in, Ottawa set in motion a process that could destroy companies, a penalty no other country imposed Kevin Carmichael: The point is, a country that is serious about infrastructure will remove politics from the equation to the greatest extent possible The good news is that she has significant assets, which will have to be harnessed to fund her retirement Piece by meticulously researched piece, Vivian Krause has spent almost 10 years exposing this story Published at Sat, 16 Mar 2019 16:19:12 +0000 Read the full article
