TuneIn has worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This innovative partnership will provide drivers with life-saving real-time emergency notifications right in their vehicle. This groundbreaking system is coming to market soon! Search for it in cars from widely-adopted household names including Rivian, Lucid, Tesla, Sony Honda Mobility, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes and Volvo with TuneIn built-in.
The initiative increases driver safety by equipping them with potentially life-saving information in real-time. This should encompass notifications regarding impending severe weather, natural disasters, and other crucial scenarios. The play requires minimal investment from the automakers beyond leveraging their existing infrastructure. Plus, it provides continuous alerts on and off the roadway, all without requiring additional hardware or extensive vehicle retrofitting.
The announcement comes as the TechCrunch event is set to take place in San Francisco from October 27 to 29, 2025. We expect this to be an exciting showcase of technologies and innovations that will impact the future of the auto industry. The collaboration between TuneIn and FEMA is part of a movement towards using technology to enhance public safety.
“By cutting redundant contracts, eliminating unnecessary positions, and giving employees the opportunity to quit if they wish, [the Department of Homeland Security] has reduced bureaucratic bloat.” – Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
This partnership is an example of both TuneIn and FEMA’s dedication to improving emergency responsiveness. As Secretary Noem highlighted, “has become more responsive, getting personnel on the ground and approving grants nearly twice as quickly as previous administrations did.” These changes highlight the need for continuous and timely outreach, especially in times of crisis.
The integration will deploy wide across several vehicle models. Only then will it live up to its promise as an invaluable resource for any driver encountering the unexpected. The new system allows drivers to get important alerts without taking their eyes off the road. This unsurprising feature is helping to encourage more safe driving behavior.
