Update
We've got the APK for the updated version of the Personal Safety app available for your downloading pleasure over on APK Mirror, but sadly the car crash detection functionality

XDA Developers' Mishaal Rahman has received an update to the Emergency Information app on his Pixel 2 XL and noticed it has been renamed "Personal Safety."
