Talk about a back-seat driver! Ford Motor Co. has created a device which allows parents to control how fast their teenagers drive, limits the volume on the car radio and makes sure their seat belts are fastened.
It's called "MyKey," and Ford announced this week that it will be a standard feature starting next year on the 2010 Ford Focus and other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models.
The key can be programmed to limit the car's top speed, sounding chimes at 45 miles per hour, 55 mph and 65 mph.
The car's top speed can be restricted to 80 mph
Another feature disables the car's audio system until seat belts are fastened or limits audio volume to 44 percent of total volume.
