Tech to Control Your Teen Drivers—and Keep Them Safe

A range of GM vehicles include “Teen Driver Technology,” which is triggered by the specific car key you assign your teen. The feature generates a pin-protected “report card” that tallies the times that traction control and forward collision avoidance braking were employed and logs the top speed during each ride. It also requires that seat belts be fastened for the vehicle to move or the radio to work and lets you cap the driver’s speed. If you think your favorite sophomore resents you now, toss him a key to your Corvette without telling him that alerts will sound when he crosses 45 mph.

Aside from the fact that no teen-aged driver is ever getting the keys to my 'vette…imagine growing up without all those cruising-around-in-cars movies and other unmentionable memories like…well…I'm not mentioning. 

It looks like the Rebel has finally found a Cause.
