CORE FUNCTIONALITY & FOREGROUND SERVICE DECLARATION:
Driver Guard by Apna Taxi is an advanced Fleet Safety Tracking and Smart Dashcam utility built explicitly to protect professional drivers, passengers, and fleet assets. To deliver its critical security features, Driver Guard strictly requires persistent Foreground Service permissions (FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA, and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE).

These permissions are absolute core requirements. They ensure that high-precision GPS route tracking and continuous Dashcam video/audio recording remain 100% active and uninterrupted when the driver minimizes the application to run third-party navigation tools (such as Google Maps) or when the device screen is automatically locked during an active commercial trip.

Welcome to Driver Guard by Apna Taxi! 🚖
Your ultimate companion for on-road security and fleet intelligence. Driver Guard eliminates the need for expensive hardware dashcams and standalone GPS trackers, transforming your smartphone into an enterprise-grade security system. Whether navigating dark highway routes or managing urban transit, this application ensures you are always protected and connected.

🚨 KEY SAFETY & COMMUNITY FEATURES:

📷 Smart Background Dashcam (Core Feature): Continuously captures high-definition trip footage (video and audio) in a secure loop. Powered by Foreground Services, the camera recording never drops—even if you switch to a navigation map or receive an incoming call, ensuring critical evidence is always documented.

📍 Real-Time Route Tracking (Core Feature): Streams live GPS coordinates, transit speed, and path updates directly to your fleet administrators and family members. It runs persistently via background processes so tracking stays rock-solid throughout your entire shift.

🌐 Driver Social Feed & Alert Community: Stay updated with your fellow drivers! Access a dedicated real-time social feed to share live road conditions, post video reels of traffic hazards, share photos of route blockages, and build a trusted safety network on the go.

🆘 Instant SOS Distress Signal: In critical or threatening situations, a single tap triggers a high-priority emergency alert, instantly broadcasting your exact live coordinates and a distress siren to fleet groups and connected emergency contacts.

✅ Seamless Ride Management: Easily log passenger entry, start official trips, track ride durations, and stop metrics cleanly with an intuitive, driver-first interface.

👨‍👩‍👧 COMPANION ECOSYSTEM FOR TOTAL PEACE OF MIND:
To unlock maximum security, Driver Guard syncs perfectly with our passenger/family application. Invite your family members to download the "Family Guard" app from the Play Store. Once they scan your unique driver QR code, they can view your live journey on a map and receive instant, high-volume SOS alerts even if their phones are set to silent.
