Check Out Uber’s New ‘Call 911’ Feature

We all know your Uber rides are exhausting and wonderful, yet in the event that you at any point keep running into inconvenience or experience a risky situation amid your excursion, the ride-sharing administration revealed a new feature today that makes it simple to call 911 from the application itself. With simply the tap of a button—and a brisk confirmation—you can contact the police to report a mischance you were associated with (or some other prominent emergency).

When you’re taking a Uber ride, you’ll presently observe a little police shield icon in the bottom-right corner of the map. Tap on it to pull up an “Emergency Toolkit,” which has “Call 911” as the bottom-most option. Tap on that, and you’re given a huge red button you can press to instantly call emergency administrations.

In the event that you have to tap the button, the application will show your correct location, the make and model of the vehicle you’re riding in, and the vehicle’s tag number for you to impart to police on the phone. The thought is that having this information in one place should make it less demanding to speak with emergency administrations.

In six cities, Uber will send your name, your correct location, your Uber auto’s make model and shading, and the vehicle’s tag to emergency responders without you saying a word. That’s an incredible option for those living in Denver; Charleston; Chattanooga; Naples; Louisville; and the Tri-Cities, Tennessee. Nashville is additionally slated to get the feature soon, and we trust it takes off to much more significant metropolitan areas after that.
