Bosch unveiled the 'RideCare' comprehensive security camera at CES 2023 in Las Vegas. The camera attaches to the windshield of a vehicle and draws power from a vehicle's lighter slot. The RideCare is equipped with both front and rear-facing cameras, meaning it captures footage of the road and safety footage of the inside of the vehicle. This helps provide a level of safety and security for both riders and drivers in rideshare situations.
The RideCare comes with a wireless SOS button that the driver can position wherever they prefer. When this button is pressed, the RideCare automatically contacts Bosch's emergency services, which then grants Bosch direct access to the video feed of the camera. This combines with GPS location and a timestamp to offer the emergency responder full capabilities to help the driver in potentially dangerous situations, which could involve contacting nearby police dispatch lines.
