Ridesharing is a public transportation phenomenon that's good for everyone however its inherent lack of robust security is preventing growth. Women are particularly uneasy about getting into a car with a random stranger; new rideshare companies such as Safeher, HopSkipDrive and SeeJaneGo underline the need to prevent fear of bad guys from spoiling the ride.
Video surveillance is a proven deterrent against people misbehaving so mounting cameras in rideshare cars is a simple way to insure a safe and pleasant ride. Since bad guys could easily steal a camera that's been recording evidence of their bad behavior, it's important that the images are transmitted to authorities in real-time.
A better way to rideshare safely:
Freedom activists have already developed smartphone apps that upload evidence onto a remote server for their protection. We are working on a similar software architecture that has several innovative capabilities geared to ridesharing. Our "GoSafe" product will enable all TNCs to give their drivers and passengers a new level of confidence that every ride will be safe and secure.
Improving rideshare security will result in all passengers feeling more confident about getting into a stranger's car. A side benefit is that more women will feel safe enough to become rideshare drivers and start earning extra income.
It's a new approach to security that enables any TNC to grow its market share; adding GoSafe as an exclusive service complements our already compelling partnership proposal... Go See!
