With the release of iOS 14.5 Apple CarPlay users can now report accidents, hazards, or speed checks with voice commands to Siri. So if you’re on your work commute and there is an accident, all you need to do is press the voice command button and say, “There’s a crash up ahead.”
Apple Maps will then mark the location on the map as an alert for other drivers. If you arrive to a reported location of an accident but it has been cleaned up, you can report to Siri that the incident has been cleared.
Also with this update CarPlay users can Share ETA using Siri, previously this could only be done with on screen controls.
