It would be great if when 911 is dialed the phone dropped into a “black box” state where all unnecessary functionality is suspended to maximize battery and signal. It could alert emergency contacts w/ location pings, start recording voice and video, and go into a heightened security mode to avoid tampering.

No you definitely don't want the phone doing confusing and weird things during an emergency. You want it to behave in the way the user is accustomed.
