Ola integrates its 'Emergency Button' with Bengaluru Police Control room

This will enable seamless sharing of ride-information, including driver and car details, GPS coordinates of the vehicle, and customer's contact information

Ride-hailing firm Ola on Thursday said that it has integrated its in-app emergency button with the Bengaluru City Police control room. This integration will enable seamless sharing of ride-information, including driver and car details, GPS (global positioning system) coordinates of the vehicle, and customer’s contact information. This development further strengthens Ola’s commitment to foster safer mobility through collaboration with local authorities.

As part of this technology integration, whenever a customer presses the ‘emergency button’, he will have the option to call the police directly on 100. Once this is activated, the police will have real-time access to the customer’s ride information
