Invite-only pilot · Bengaluru and Pune

Drive alone. Never on your own.

Stay connected on every drive. Share the trip with people you trust, set a check-in that still runs if the phone goes quiet, and reach those same people when something feels wrong.

01

The in-between

The hard part is often the stretch where something feels off and nobody would notice if you stopped answering.

02

A plan you set

Live share for this ride, or a time you expect to be home. Guardian follows that plan. It does not guess who to tell.

03

Quiet on purpose

Help stays one deliberate step away. The phone does not become a billboard that you are asking for it.

How it works

Three calm layers in one app.

Prepare before you go, stay connected on the way, and keep SOS for the moment you choose it.

01 · Learn and prepare

Confidence before the trip.

Short lessons and a practice log you can run on your own time. Practice records how long you drove, how far, and your top speed. It does not invent a score.

Practice report

Duration, distance, top speed

The instructor directory stays empty until Guardian returns someone who is actually verified.

If you do not answer

App prompt, then SMS

The deadline lives on the server. A dead or unreachable phone still escalates to the contacts you picked.

02 · Live drive and check-in

Share the trip on your terms.

Start live sharing, or set a time you should be home. If routing is down, the arrival time stays blank. Guardian does not fill one in.

03 · SOS and medical profile

Help when something feels wrong.

Hold to share your live location with the contacts you added. Your name and blood group can sit on the emergency profile. Allergies stay typed by you.

What SOS does

Your contacts. Not a desk.

Guardian does not call 112, and it does not place a dispatcher call. Nobody is listening on a microphone.

Your people

They get a link. They do not install an app.

Each contact is one you add, with a grant you can see later. They receive a watch link by SMS for the ride you shared. Adding someone needs Face ID, so a borrowed phone cannot quietly grow the list.

  • Nobody is on the list by default.
  • Duration is yours. Revoke all, immediately.
  • Restore turns sharing back on. Roadside assist stays off until you turn it on.

What it refuses

Features

Everything in the pilot, in one app.

Ride, drive, or take a cab. The same people you added are who get told — and only when you set that up.

Learn

  • Short lessons, including car-owner basics such as tyres.
  • Practice log of duration, distance, and top speed. No invented score.
  • Instructor directory only when Guardian returns someone verified. Until then it stays empty.

Live drive

  • Share this ride with contacts you added.
  • Timed check-in. If you do not answer, the server still escalates after the phone goes quiet.
  • Save the parking spot you actually left. Guardian does not pick a “best” spot.
  • A route appears for Bengaluru and Pune. Anywhere else, no line is drawn. If routing is down, the arrival time stays blank.

Cab

  • Point the camera at the number plate before you get in.
  • If the cab leaves the planned route and you do not answer, the contacts you chose are told.

SOS and protection

  • Hold to share your live location with those contacts. Release to cancel.
  • Discreet mode is quiet, not invisible. There is no microphone in the pilot.
  • Optional handlebar button. Phone hold and the phone’s sensors still work without it.
  • A possible fall is classified on the phone. Contacts are told only after an incident is raised.

You, on the record

  • Emergency profile: your name and blood group. Allergies stay typed by you.
  • Apple Health import is blood type only.
  • Voice notes and dashcam stay on the phone. They are not uploaded.
  • English, Kannada, and Hindi.

The people you choose

  • Each contact gets a watch link by SMS. They do not install an app.
  • Adding someone needs Face ID. Nobody is on the list by default.
  • Revoke all sharing immediately. Consent history stays visible.
  • Export or ask to delete your data. Rider data stays in the India data plane.

Inside the app

Every design frame.

These are Product Ready design frames, illustration only. Sample names, prices, scores, arrival times, “AI” advice, and a dispatcher step drawn in the frames are not what the pilot ships.

The pilot

Do the women in the cohort go out more than they did before?

False alarms and time-to-contact matter. The product wins when a drive that used to feel off-limits feels doable again — with people she chose, not a stranger on a line.
