As the parent of two young boys (one of whom will be 16 in ~10 years) I can't begin to tell you how excited this makes me.

Ford Taurus introduced a 'parent key/child key' concept a few years ago that did things like limit stereo volume and top speed. This takes it one further.

No fretting about stupid accidents! No fretting about drunk driving!

I guess one doesn't need a car at all with a helicopter parent.
