UBER LETS PARENTS VIEW DRIVER CAMERA ON TEEN TRIPS

The feature leverages Uber's existing driver-facing camera system. Parents can view live or recorded footage from the driver's perspective when their teen is riding with Uber Teen, the company's service for ages 13-17. Uber clarified that camera access is limited to safety reviews. The company will only pull recordings when investigating reported safety incidents, not for continuous surveillance. The move reflects growing parental concerns about teen safety during rideshare trips. It comes as Uber has expanded safety features across its platform, including emergency assistance buttons and driver verification protocols. The feature is currently available in select markets and will expand over time. Parents must opt in to the monitoring capability, and teens receive notifications when cameras are active.
