Multiple factors such as talking on a phone while driving, the age group of people, and their emotional sense contribute to this. Deaths, and injuries due to motor vehicle accidents have been one of the most common causes of death, but this can be changed by protect this drive feature of Life360.
Whenever a crash or a sudden action of similar impact occurs during a motor vehicle driving session, the information would reach trained advisors in Life360, who will then contact the person to ask if any medical help is needed.

The advisors would also reach out to the person’s family to inform them of the nature and location of the accident.
