Back in 2020, Google kicked off a project to crowdsource signals from Android phones that an earthquake might be imminent. The system leveraged the accelerometers inside these devices to gather seismic data, combine it to detect patterns consistent with an earthquake, and deliver timely alerts to people who might be affected.
