It worries me sick that she'll get into trouble of some sort. He says she old enough and responsible enough to get out on her own. I have no idea where or who she's with, what she's up to. He refuses to understand she is still a child.
Assuming that your daughter is responsibly responsible and street-smart, and has a phone, I see no problem with this at all.
She'll be free to wander the world in a year, so it's probably best that she gets some experience now while parental support is close at hand.
