The Artificial Intelligence led feature tracks a ride for any irregularities and alerts are sent directly to Ola’s Safety Response Team.

“Guardian brings together the precision of Artificial Intelligence with the assurance of human intervention, enabling a uniform and safe mobility experience across the markets we operate in. Our safety initiatives such as Emergency Button, facial recognition system for driver authentication, and one-time-password (OTP) system, are innovations that have all been built in India and now lead the global benchmarks for the mobility industry,” said Arun Srinivas, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Ola.

Ola Guardian has been running as a pilot programme since September 2018 in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Pune. The company already had an Emergency button feature.

Ola’s rival Uber too had announced a 24X7 safety helpline, where users can call representatives who have been trained in English and Hindi.
