Bringing Autonomy and Robotics into
Real-time emergency intelligence
Connecting autonomous vehicles and robotics directly to 911 and first responders.
Trusted by leaders in safety and security
The Problem
Connected devices, disconnected safety
Today’s autonomous vehicles and robotic devices are highly advanced, but they operate completely isolated from the 911 network and first responders. When an emergency happens, this disconnection creates dangerous friction on the street. During the July 4th fireworks show in San Francisco, dozens of driverless vehicles stalled and clogged travel lanes, blocking municipal shuttle buses and hindering emergency routes. When seconds matter, public safety officials have no direct way to take control of these devices or move them out of the way.
The Solution
RapidSOS is connecting autonomy to public safety
RapidSOS is the trusted emergency operating system connecting vital data to 23,500+ agencies. Through its AI layer, Harmony, autonomous vehicle and robotics manufacturers can link fleets directly to the emergency network—ensuring devices respect active emergency operations and keep communities safe.
Autonomous vehicle & robotics solutions powered by RapidSOS
Approaching emergency vehicles
Real-Time First Responder Visibility
Autonomous units gain immediate awareness of approaching emergency vehicles so they can proactively pull over, alter routes, and stay clear of emergency paths.
Outcome: Fewer blocked routes, faster emergency vehicle passage.
Active emergency scenes
Authorized Public Safety Control
Grant temporary, authenticated control to authorized public safety officials during a crisis, allowing them to safely guide or move a unit out of harm’s way.
Outcome: Responders can act on the scene instead of working around a stalled device.
Disruptive or malfunctioning units
Automated Override & Kill Switch
A secure, automated override system or remote kill switch immediately pauses or safely parks a unit disrupting an active emergency scene.
Outcome: Faster scene clearance, reduced risk to responders and bystanders.
Passengers & bystanders
24/7 Response Safety Agents
Dedicated Safety Agents remain on standby to assist passengers during incidents and coordinate directly with local 911 dispatchers.
Outcome: Continuous passenger protection, coordinated 911 handoff.
Measurable impact for autonomy & robotics manufacturers
