By activating the SOS button, Uber passengers in Kolkata will now be able to send live GPS updates to local police, provide police with information on the driver, and send details on the passenger reporting the issue, in addition to initiating a phone call with the police, as it already did. The new features are expected to be rolled out in other cities subsequently, reported The Verge.
The information, which will appear on a display that Uber installs for the local police, will enable them to track an Uber vehicle.
