A key that lets parents apply brakes on kids’ speeding cars
LONDON: In a good news for protective parents, they can now limit the speed of their reckless kids' cars by using a new control key system to be available in the market soon.
The system called MyKey, which will be on shelves in the UK from next month, interfaces with the computer systems on board its latest cars to place restrictions on drivers using the special keys. It works by recognizing different keys for the same car and then adjusting the vehicle settings according to the owner's requirements , with the capacity to limit the top speed to 128 kmph, the Daily Mail said.
The limits are linked to the specific key, so parents concerned about their inexperienced children can limit top speed and stereo volume for youngsters while retaining full functionality for themselves.
"MyKey allows parents to tailor vehicle performance and driver environment to suit individual users," the company said.
"Permanent enabling of safety and driver aids and speed and audio limiting give parents greater control without impacting on young drivers' independence," it said.
Manufacturers claim the MyKey system can also be programmed to alert the driver that fuel is running low.
