The feature can also limit the  volume of the stereo and prevent the deactivation of safety features like  traction control and seatbelt and collision warning signs. Teenage Mode  works through the use of a separate key, which is given to the teenage  driver and is the only one to activate the features. Once the vehicle  reaches the speed designated by the parents, the driver will hear a chime  and be warned to slow down.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Technical Officer and Vice-President of Ford Research and Innovation,  Paul Mascarena, said, &#8220;It&#8217;s targeted at young driver, although  it is useful for fleet operators as well. We were concerned that children  would see it as Big Brother watching them. But they&#8217;re now getting  more access to the vehicle. And from a parental perspective, there is  peace of mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> As a Moncks Corner car accident lawyer , I&#8217;m aware of the significant  number of accidents that teen drivers are involved in every year. As a  reader, do you think this type of technology is useful or does it overstep  boundaries, not allowing teens to fully develop their driving skills?
