Hello.
Earlier, the desk got slammed hard and 2012 13.3" MBP, with its
updated mac OS v10.14.6, rebooted back to its SSD unlock screen and
had to log in manually. Nothing was lost so far and even Firefox
v78.0.1 still remember its logged web site login. MBP was connected
with its magnetic power AC and still has its original battery with
almost 100% juice. Weird/Odd! :/
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

Not weird or odd at all. Mac Laptops have an accelerometer specifically
for this.

Wow. Are there more details about this?

I don't know that it's supposed to reboot. It's meant to park the heads
on a hard drive so that there is less chance of the drive being damaged
in a fall. Of course, it's pretty much useless with an SSD equiped Mac.

Thanks and interesting. Yeah, it did reboot. It was just a hard slam/hit on the desk
(not a drop). :(

It was enough of a shoc that the system took the steps to protect the
drive and the data.

No, not a sad face emoticon at all. The correct reaction is "Whew!"

It detects sudden movement of any type, a fall or a hard knock, so that
the drive heads can be parked safely (or at least safer).
But SSDs don't have heads?
True, which why it's pointless on SSD-based Mac laptops. You can
actually turn it off, but it's probably not even worth the effort.

So, it still does that for SSDs too? I was surprised to see everything back even the logged
Firefox v78.0.2 web site session.

Yeah, something else could break from the sudden jolt, drop, etc. Might
as well play safe!
There are no other moving parts, so there's nothing else the sensor can
be used for. It is solely for hard drives (inlcuding Apple's Fusion
drives). It's not possible to stop the screen getting cracked or hinges breaking, for example.
