It's less than ideal that they've moved it, but you can continue to use location sharing from Google+. You need to enable it from account settings[1] and specify who can see your location (public, select circles, or individuals). I think in your circumstances this will be better than Glympse, because your use case is about safety and the ambient location awareness, which isn't what Glympse provides. You have to send someone a "Glympse" notification with your location that has a limited window. Speaking from experience, it is hard to send while driving.
