He was announced yesterday a new feature called Uber Teenswhich allows parents or guardians of teenagers (aged 12 to 17) to create a supervised account so they can request their own trips.
The resource, whose pilot is being launched today, can be accessed through the person responsible’s Family Profile and is available in the cities of Campinas (SP), Cuiabá (MT), Curitiba (PR), Florianópolis (SC), Sorocaba (SP) and São José dos Campos (SP).
As detailed by the company, those responsible are notified every time the teenager requests a trip, so they can also follow the trip live — from boarding to disembarking, and calling the driver, if necessary.
We know that parents or guardians cannot always take their teenagers to all their activities, and that app transport can be a safe alternative for people to get around. With Uber Adolescents, those responsible will have visibility into the use of the application by young people at all times. At the same time as we want to see young people be able to count on this alternative to travel, we want those responsible to be able to have peace of mind knowing that the account is under their control. Whether your teenager is going to school or returning home after sports training, the parent will receive real-time notifications and be able to follow the trip on their own cell phone.
—Silvia Pennageneral director of Uber in Brazil.
How to activate
To create a supervised profile for a teenager, the parent must invite them to create an account, which invitation will include a link to download the Uber app and will allow the young person to create their new account and complete the mandatory safety educational content process. . After that, teens can start requesting trips on their own.
It is worth noting that the young person’s account will be linked to that of the person responsible, so that they can also use the payment method defined by them.
Uber notes that the platform’s security features — such as trip confirmation by code (U-Code), audio recording of all trips (U-Audio), route change detection (U-Ajuda) and updates on real time (U-Accompany) — are standard for teenagers’ accounts and cannot be deactivated by them, nor by the driver partner or guardians.
