The big changes recently announced include a family account, where parents can add a teenager.Amanda Bucos said she has been driving for Uber for about a year and a half.“I think it’s a good idea to do it that way,” said Bucos. “From what I’ve heard from other drivers is that sometimes people who are underage might lie about their age.”A teen can call their own ride, but parents will be notified.
There is also a pin verification to make sure riders are in the correct car, and parents can track the trip.“For a short trip, probably something close by,” said parent Bob Goodrich. “I would probably feel comfortable with that.” Goodrich told ABC15, that with a 15 and 17-year-old, his family would have to test out the feature before their kids ride alone.
“I think it’s up to each parent, but for me like 16 or 17 is probably the age that is more appropriate,” said Goodrich. “They should not be allowed to do it,” said long-time driver Dimitri Bowden. “They are not equipped to do it.”Both said they are concerned for drivers and teen passengers.“No one wants a 13-year-old child in their car, girl or boy,” said Bowden.
