Uber riders in India will soon have an added safeguard in case of emergency.
According to the company’s blog, starting February 11th, the app will provide users in India with an in-app panic button to notify police that something’s wrong.</p><p>
In addition, Uber will provide what it calls a “safety net” feature. With it, riders will be able to “easily share their trip details and real-time location with up to 5 friends and family members,” according to the company.</p><p>
The additional safeguards come after a woman alleged that her Uber driver raped her back in December. Delhi officials subsequently
banned Uber from operating in the city as the police carried out its investigation into the case.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2881117/uber-will-add-panic-button-to-its-app-in-india.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
