Waze adds child‑reminder alert to help prevent forgotten children in vehicles

The navigation app Waze now offers a "Child Reminder" feature that displays a customizable alert when the driver reaches a set destination, prompting a check of the rear seats. The function, available on Android and iOS, can be personalized with a child's name or any other reminder, aiming to reduce tragic incidents of children left unattended in hot cars.

Separately, Brazilian traffic authorities in Senador Canedo released a six‑step guide for safely evacuating a vehicle after a rollover. The instructions emphasize keeping seatbelts fastened until stable, using hands and feet for support, exiting the vehicle backward one person at a time, and calling emergency services when needed. The guidance follows a viral video produced by the local traffic superintendent to improve public awareness of proper rollover response.
