How does your daughter know for sure that the car she's getting into is an Uber car? Do they have signs or anything indicating what they are?

I'm afraid that if some creep sees a couple of young girls standing on a corner waiting for a ride.....(shudder)

They have a sign (although that's not hard to fake).

Uber also sends them and you, if you're account, a photo of the driver, picture of his/her car, and a license plate number. So, it's pretty easy to be sure you have the right car. Uber will also know the name of the person whose account it is, so they can ask.

What happens if the Uber driver pulls up in a different car and tells the girls that the other driver was in an accident so he was sent to pick them up instead?

Then they don't get in and they call their driver. They have his phone number also.

Never get in a car that is not the exact driver Uber sent you.

Yes. Your children need to learn to be responsible Uber users just like every other skill you teach them, you need to teach them how to Uber.

Those girls are probably just seeing an Uber car and hopping right on in and not verifying a damn thing. They aren't stupid just naive and zero street smarts.

If you are a parent that think NOT letting them learn how to Uber makes you a great parent then yes, in college they will use Uber, have never learned how to do it safely and naively jump into a random car drunk late stinger instead of learning all the safety put in place to make uberring safe.

I think many parents have not used Uber and therefore can't teach their kids about Uber.

It's easy, load the app and Uber somewhere with a friend. Take away the mystique.

Then they check the app, and see if the driver has changed.

It's not uncommon for a driver to hit traffic, and a new driver to get reassigned, but the photo/info in the app changes.

I have a vision problem and so I uber all the time, often multiple times a day, and the app is reliable for telling you who is coming.

Yes. But it's not easy to fake all of the information that can be verified such as name, photo, make and model of the car, and license plates. I would say it's impossible to fake. A teenager is capable of being responsible enough to verify but of course need to be taught by parents.

As a parent, I recognize the concerns with Uber, but a teenage driver isn't a safer solution.

Kids need to learn to drive and they need to learn how to Uber.

Agreed, OP ... And "EVERYONE" is teenage-speak for "I want my way and this sounds convincing" ... it's an almost expected teen tactic

Haha. +10000
