Same has happened here with our 2-year old, except we didn't get to it in time and have had the fire department show up on more than one occasion before we figured out what was happening.

There were also a handful of times we could hear a voice coming through the wife's phone where we narrowly avoided a few more visits.

This was all before we discovered how she actually calling 911. It's shocking to me Google didn't make more of a deal about this new "feature" when they rolled it out.

This definitely should have been opt-IN, not opt-out. Sure smells like a classic example of tech PMs making idealistic decisions that affect people in the real world without thinking through all of the consequences.

Or the FCC should order an immediate software patch to make the feature opt-in.
