Teens can now have their own Uber account

Details: Only "experienced and highly-rated drivers" can drive teens, Uber says, and parents can track their kids' rides in real-time — as well as call their driver.

• Drivers can opt out of picking up teenagers if they so choose.

State of play: Teen accounts will be available soon in a handful of cities, including Atlanta, Columbus, Minneapolis and more.

Of note: Teen accounts are also coming to Uber Eats (whether that's a smart move depends on how much your kid loves fast food).

Reality check: Teenagers have long bent Uber's age restrictions, often by booking rides through their parents, older siblings or friends.

Meanwhile: Uber is also expanding an option allowing parents and caretakers to request rides with a car seat; it's coming first to New York City and Los Angeles.
