Uber has rolled out a new feature that’s designed to give families peace of mind. The rideshare giant now has a livestream option that lets parents watch their child’s trip in real time.

The feature is part of Uber’s teen accounts. Once activated, the livestream will be shown through the driver’s front-facing camera. According to Uber, both the driver and the teen will be notified when the video is being watched.

Recordings are encrypted and will be deleted after 14 days—unless they are part of an investigation.

The feature is currently available in nine U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Orlando, and Phoenix.

Uber plans to expand to other markets in the coming weeks.
