Parents, do your teens use Uber? We're looking for families who can share their experience with us.
Parents and guardians can now invite their kids, ages 13-17, to create a specialized Uber account that will allow the teens to request their own rides with parental supervision and safety features built into the experience.Through the family profile in the Uber app, a parent or guardian can invite their teen to create an account. A news release said the teen will receive a link to download the app, create their new teen account, and complete the mandatory safety onboarding process.
: Uber said it uses sensors and GPS data to detect if the ride goes off course, stops unexpectedly, or ends early. If something like this happens, the app will message the teen and the driver to make sure they’re OK. RideCheck will be adjusted to be more sensitive during teens’ trips, the release said.
