Driving monitor for teens
Why not create a driving monitor which will provide new teen drivers with verbal comments to help bring attention to driving errors?
The monitor is to be wired to the car's onboard computer and equipped with an accelerometer and a GPS. It will alert the driver to aggressive driving, such as sudden turning or braking, and significant speeding. It will also disable mobile phones while the car is in motion.
It could be also possible for parents to be notified of their teen's driving transgressions through email, text, or phone. In addition, parents will be able to set a grace period between driving error and correction - if the teen corrects their driving within that time then the parent will not be notified.
