Read our privacy policy Internet-based grocery firm Instacart has introduced a safety feature for “shoppers” who will be alerted to critical incidents nearby that are “unsafe”. According to an announcement from the tech-based grocery firm on Wednesday, the “Shopper Safety Alert” feature will tell “shoppers” and customers of any accidents happening near to where they are. “Shoppers” for Instacart work to fulfil a customer’s order by collecting grocery items at a nearby store and then delivering them to an address via car. “Our new Shopper Safety Alerts will help protect shoppers in the unlikely event that they face an unexpected crisis, giving them near real-time information to avoid areas that may be unsafe.” He went on to say that the “Shopper Safety Alert” feature “is part of our broader commitment to shopper safety,” after concerns about the safety of Instacart workers.
