Uber said Tuesday it is introducing a new live video streaming feature for parents to keep track of their children’s safety during rides. The company said that the feature will roll out across the U.S. nationwide in the coming weeks.
The new live streaming feature uses the driver’s selfie camera for the video feed. Once the ride starts, the parent or guardian account gets a notification if the video stream is available. If they choose to watch the stream, both the driver and the teen are notified.
