MyKey Likes It.
Concerned parents of teenage drivers can now breath a little easier as Ford gets ready to launch their new MyKey Technology which will allow Mom and Dad to limit the speed and audio volume of their kids car as well as encourage teens to drive safer and improve fuel efficiency. Parents will be able to program a MyKey through the vehicles message center which will help to curb some of the reckless behavior associated with teen drivers. It’s a ground-breaking step for Ford who has made its’ Sync Technology standard in all new models and plans on doing the same with MyKey in the next couple years.
Though the main trend of the automotive industry in recent times has been to “go green” (and for good reason) it’s good to see that Ford is also addressing the justified worries that parents of teenage drivers have had since the birth of the Model-T. Until now, they have had to rely on simply trusting their kids to obey the rules of the road and we all know how that can turn out.
No word yet on the development of GrandMyKey, an innovation I just thought of, that would increase the speed limit and Talk Radio bandwidth for older drivers along with removing the moth ball smell that has haunted my Grandmothers 1978 Lincoln Continental since she got it.
