A Black Box For Cars

from the watch-those-teens dept

There's a new device coming to market which is supposed to help parents see how their teen-aged kids are driving. It's basically a "black box" for cars that measures speed, and how quickly turns are made. All that info can then be downloaded to a computer for a parent to check up on their kids. The device also will "growl" at the driver if they're going too fast.

  • Black Box 2.0 idea

    Here's another fun idea for the next black box...

    Record whether the cars rocks from side to side while the car is in park. :)
