Keeping rides a bit safer (and even friendlier)
Ever find yourself thinking twice before letting out a big fat burp on the first date…or resisting the urge to swear when Grandma’s around?
If the answer’s yes—that’s because we all behave better when we know that someone can hear or see us.
In a study of the “Hawthorne Effect”, researchers learned that factory workers were more productive when they were being observed by a manager.
We created AudioProtect with that same idea in mind. It records audio during Grab rides, in hopes that everyone will be a little friendlier to each other—now that they know that someone (or in this case, AudioProtect) is listening.
How does AudioProtect work?
Just think of AudioProtect as an extra pal with you. It helps prevent in-person safety incidents from happening by recording audio in rides. The recordings also help give us a fuller picture, which allows us to resolve incidents more quickly.
Turn on AudioProtect for safer, friendlier rides today.
No consent, no go. For it to work, both parties need to enable AudioProtect.
