"Uber Lifts Age Restriction for Solo Teen Riders in California"

Uber has introduced a new feature in California that allows teens to ride alone for the first time, with parental supervision. Parents can set up their teen's account through the Uber app, with safety features including live-trip tracking, driver information, and a unique PIN system. The app also includes an audio recording feature for added security. Only drivers who have passed screening and background checks can receive requests from teen account holders, and Uber plans to launch a reserve feature for teens in the summer.
