Ford Motor Company has unveiled its newest safety feature-a computer chip in the vehicle key that will allow parents to set a speed limit on their child's driving. You can find the full article on Ford's web site here.
MyKey also gives a persistent seat belt reminder if seat belts are not fastened, and mutes the volume on the radio until the driver buckles up.
Parents can limit the vehicle's audio volume as well with MyKey, and program reminder chimes at 45, 55 or 65 mph intervals.
What do you think? In theory, I think this is a great idea, but I do wonder about certain situations where you might need to exceed 80 mph (or 50, 60, or 70), especially to avoid a crash. Comments? Thoughts?
