E-hailing company moves to install panic buttons for its drivers. What about passengers?
This follows a surge in attacks on e-hailing drivers.
South Africa's e-hailing company Maxim is set to install panic buttons for its drivers to help protect them from hijackings and robberies. The feature, which will allow drivers to quickly call for help and share their location, is the first of its kind among e-hailing services in the country. While Maxim has not yet announced plans to roll out the feature for passengers, a company spokesperson told The Citizen that it is "planned for the very near future."
