If you think your teen can’t be trusted to drive a cat without speeding, just don’t give it to him/her. Or, if you want to be a control freak, try the tiwi.

All right, it’s not that bad. Seeing how many drivers make serious mistakes out of inexperience or attempts to be “cool”, a nagging talking box can help prevent some of them. The tiwi alerts the driver if s/he exceeds the speed limit, breaks or accelerates too fast or takes a turn at a high speed.

But the rest of the features seem a bit too controlling (ok, a lot). Parents can get notifications when their teens leave school, home, or any other area they wish to define and get alerts whenever the driver breaks a rule, such as not wearing a seat belt or speeding.

There might be a point here if you have a real trublesome child, but for most of them I think it’s an exaggeration. If you don’t give them some freedom, how will they learn to get by on their own?
