Pimpri Chinchwad police have launched a mobile messenger-based application to enable citizens to report traffic-related issues, currently in its pilot phase. Citizens can upload images of traffic violations through their mobile messenger without needing to download a separate app. The application allows the traffic police to respond promptly and issue ‘e-Challans’ to violators identified through citizen submissions and CCTV footage. Additionally, the police are developing a separate app for senior citizens, featuring an emergency call function and local information. Both applications are part of a digital transformation strategy and are nearing completion. The police department has also revamped its website for better accessibility.

Google has launched a free dash cam application for Android Auto that utilizes existing in-built vehicle cameras to capture journeys without additional hardware. Car manufacturers must customize the app for their specific vehicle models. Key features include using external storage for video recordings, automatic activation based on triggers like speed limits, and customization options for notifications and file storage durations. The app will only work in vehicles with cameras and will not replace traditional dash cams. Its availability will depend on updates from vehicle manufacturers.
