Ford My Key is Answer to Overbearing Parenting
Ford Motor company has a new tool for those who just can’t get over the fact that their child actually passed a driver’s exam and occasionally needs to leave their house every so often. My Key – to be available first on the 2010 Ford Focus – includes a programmable microchip (in the key, obviously) which chimes whenever the vehicle passes 45, 55 and 65 miles per hour. My Key also limits the vehicle’s top speed to 80 miles per hour.
The system also limits the top volume of a car’s stereo. Unfortunately, it cannot limit the volume of your kid’s cell phone or their 5 bored suburban friends piled into the passenger seats.
Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood is helping teen drivers cope with this controlling-guardian situation by stating this system may convince parent’s their kids can drive more often. If it gets you behind the wheel and into the Taco Bell drive-thru at 3 am, where’s the harm?
