There is also a ride check feature that lets you know if a driver goes off course, stops unexpectedly or ends a trip early.
An audio recording feature in the app can record your trip and secure the encrypted audio on your phone.

Riders can also share their trip with a friend or family member for an added layer of protection.
All or just some of the features can be turned on automatically based on time or location, or it can be set for all trips.
