Using a driver's dash-mounted cell phone, Grip Mobility software provides an uninterrupted audio/video feed of the vehicles interior. This feed can be accessed by ride-hailing operators and designated third parties in real time to ensure safety, or stored in the Cloud for use by relevant parties in dispute resolution.
Grip Mobility’s core product for the rideshare industry is its in-ride audio-video capture platform (patents issued and pending).
Using a driver's dash-mounted mobile phone, Grip Mobility software (SDK) provides an uninterrupted audio-video stream of the vehicle’s interior, manually or automatically operated, stored or livestreamed.
Stream can be accessed by rideshare operators or designated third parties in real time to ensure in-route safety or stored in the cloud for future reference.
Deployment API is highly configurable and can be customized to fit a broad range of operational models and regulatory requirements. White label integration allows for seamless automatic data capture with rideshare platforms.
Actively recording audio and video from the vehicle’s interior reduces the risk of interpersonal conflict between in-transit parties creating a safer experience for drivers and passengers.
By reducing safety risks for drivers, Grip Mobility enables rideshare operators to expand their driver pools to more vulnerable populations such as female or elderly drivers or drivers in unsafe areas.
Access to full ride audio and video recordings ensures that rideshare operators and insurers are able to efficiently and justly resolve any in-ride disputes between drivers and passengers.
Having access to audio and video recordings ensures that rideshare operators are able to effectively work with authorities in the case of in-ride security incidents, significantly reducing the risk of liability or negative PR exposure.
