According to Sachin Kansal, Director of Security Products at Uber, ” this feature has been launched in different cities in the United States. And they know that users around the world would benefit from having it too, so they have decided to expand. “

The company says it will be during this year when the show will be launched in some cities in Mexico, and they plan to be available by the end of next year in the main cities of the country where they are operating.

  3. Pressing the red button again to call 911 will start the phone call.
  4. When answering the call, the 911 operator can automatically see on your screen the same information about the user’s trip.
