A car key that prevents teens from talking on cell phones or text messaging while driving has been developed by University of Utah researchers.
The Key2SafeDriving system includes a device that encloses a car key. The device connects wirelessly with the user's cell phone.
To turn on the engine, the user must slide the key out of the device or push a button to release it. The device then sends a signal to the driver's cell phone, placing it in "driving mode." When in driving mode, the cell phone can't be used to talk or send text messages. It can call 911 or dial numbers pre-approved by parents, such as their cell phone numbers.
Now we just need a button to get all of the friends out of the car when our kids are driving!
Enjoy the Sun! Have a great weekend and God Bless.
