Auto digitalisation takes passenger safety to the next rung, says SP
The Tirupati district police on Monday launched the 'auto digitalisation' project that would bring thousands of auto-rickshaws operating in the district under the eye of the department. The project aims to ensure safety of the passengers as well as reduce criminal activities. Superintendent of Police V. Harshavardhan Raju launched the project at a programme where QR code printed stickers of A4 size were affixed on 200 auto-rickshaws. Terming the project as the next level of vehicular monitoring, the SP said, 'Passengers hiring the vehicles can scan the QR code with the Google Lens app on their mobile phones and get details of the driver as well as the owner of the auto-rickshaw for their safety'. The details would be made available on the website from where the police or the passenger can track the vehicles. The app also gives passengers options to share their travel details with their family and friends on WhatsApp, track the location/route, give a rating for the driver, make an emergency call, lodge a complaint if needed and get details of the nearest police station.
