Uber Will Let Parents Watch Their Teens' Rides Live
Uber is adding a new safety feature to its accounts for teens. The new feature will allow a parent or guardian to watch the inside of the vehicle live through the driver's phone's front-facing camera while the teen is riding in an Uber vehicle. According to the company, the goal is to help parents feel more at ease while their children are traveling.
When the teen starts a ride and the live video feature is enabled in that vehicle, a notification will be sent to the parent or guardian linked to the teen's account. The driver may be required to position the phone inside the vehicle so that the camera can clearly show the rear seats. The parent will be able to tap the notification to watch the live video from inside the vehicle. Both the driver and the teen will be notified when the stream begins. The live video will only be available for the duration of the ride and will stop automatically when the ride ends. Uber says that only a parent or guardian officially linked to the teen's account will be able to view the video.
