Apple's crash-detection feature, which works on iPhone 14 and later and Apple Watch 8, sends alerts to emergency services when it detects a serious collision.
The new technology has been credited in the US for saving a string of lives. But in the UK the coroner spoke out after police admitted they do not know enough about it.
The prevention of future deaths notice was issued following an inquest into the death of teenager George Dillon, whose phone sent an automated alert to Hampshire police that was not immediately acted on.
A task force has now been set up to look at how forces nationally should respond to crash-detection technology and SOS alerts.
