Competition drives Uber to improve its ride

Uber’s new safety features

• Emergency button – With the push of a button in the app, riders, drivers and delivery-partners can connect directly to private emergency services and security response, when needed, through a third party private security supplier
• Trusted Contacts – Riders can designate five friends or family members as “trusted contacts” and, with a tap, share trip information, which is customisable in their trip sharing preferences.
• Safety Centre – A new app-housed safety information hub where users can find information on some of the key existing safety tools in the app, including a 24/7 team, information on the driver and the car, trip GPS-tracking and the rating and feedback system.
• Speed alerts – A feature which reminds drivers and delivery partners to maintain a safe speed within the posted speed limits.
