Your cell phone could easily call for help in a crash without the car being involved at all.
Not if I'm unconscious?
From a cellphone’s perspective a crash = extreme acceleration with different vectors vs a dropped phone, they can also listen for broken glass etc. So even with GPS off that’s detectable.

Other drivers will phone it in. This isn't a concern for me at all, but I suppose it could be if you lived in a low population area.
iPhones actually can. I'm guessing some Androids have an equivalent.
Apple Watch for sure. It seems like you have been in an accident. Hit this button to cancel or EMS will be called.
