What does it do exactly? It allows parents to control the car's speed (80 mph max), the stereo's volume (not higher than 44%) and to set the car to make an annoying beeping if the seatbelts aren't fastened.
Would teens stand for it? When asked, most of them (67% to be exact) said they hated the idea. However, the numbers change if the system would allow them to use the family car more often: only 36% protested in this case.
Doesn't seem like such a bad idea if you put it like this. In the end, it's up to the parents to decide on the appropriate way to deal with their kids, and sometimes extra precautions are necessary. Annoyed at mum is better than wounded or dead in an accident.
