Riders can access the safety toolkit on the home screen of the app from the moment the driver accepts the trip through when the trip ends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Commenting on the launch, Sachin Kansal, Director, Product Management, Uber\u00a0said,\u00a0\u201cAt Uber, safety is a top priority and we look towards harnessing technology to solve for rider and driver safety concerns in more innovative ways. The roll-out of Safety Toolkit to millions of riders across India is an extension of this commitment to\u00a0the community that we serve. We&#8217;ve updated our platform to prioritize awareness and sensitisation and make our safety features more accessible and easier to use. A key feature that we are introducing today as part of the Safety Toolkit is \u2018Trusted Contacts\u2019, which offers riders the option to automatically share all or select late night trips with their family and loved ones\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Launched in the US in May, the Safety Toolkit\u2019s design and features have been determined in large part, based on feedback from thousands of riders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the last year, Uber has also inked strong partnerships with Government bodies including the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to jointly promote road safety, as well as Delhi and Kolkata Police, apps like SafetiPin to help pre-empt and prevent untoward incidents against riders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Uber, the world\u2019s largest on-demand ride-sharing company, on Thursday announced the launch of\u00a0\u201cSafety Toolkit\u201d &#8211; a consolidated and comprehensive set of features\u00a0in-app for riders in India, within months of its US rollout.
