Uber is helping map out which neighborhoods are the safest

Passenger safety is a major concern for Uber ever, particularly in India where the company came under heavy fire after a passenger was raped by an Uber driver. While the company released a built-in panic button for its app, it’s taking things a step further by partnering with an app called SafetiPin. The app helps gauge the relative safety of neighborhoods and Uber will be helping it do this by providing it with the information it collects.
