Uber's Teen Ride Live Stream Lacks Opt-Out for Third-Party Passengers

Uber launched live video streaming for teen account rides on August 25, 2026, using the driver's selfie camera as the feed. The feature offers no opt-out for other passengers traveling with the teen. It is rolling out in nine markets including Rhode Island, a two-party consent state. Uber described the stream as "encrypted" but did not confirm end-to-end encryption.
