 As if being a teen weren't hard enough, next year Chevy's rolling out something called Teen Driver on the 2016 Malibu. Now think of it as a monitoring system for parents to keep track of their teen drivers. Now, it doesn't tell you where they went or who they went there with, but it does give you a pretty good sense of how they're doing as drivers. It's kind of like a report card. In fact, the car calls it a report card. So, as soon as teen drivers engage, there's a few systems that kick in automatically that the teen can't actually turn off. Those include ABS, stability control, and avoidance braking. The teen has no control over those, but the parent can set them up ahead of time and make sure they're in place. So, there's a couple of things that it does. The most notable is that it cuts the audio as soon as you release the seatbelt. So, let's say we have some music going. I take the seatbelt off, and the music automatically cuts, and it does the same in the passenger seat. Put the seatbelt back in, and we're jamming. But the brains of the system are right here. So, let's go into settings, teen driver, enter our top secret pin that the teen doesn't know about. So, there's a couple of things you can manage here. The first is audio volume limit. So, let's say you're tired of your teen driving around the neighborhood blasting Fetty Wap. Well, you can turn on audio volume limit, and it'll limit how loud the system can go. Go back here, and you have teen driver speed warning. So, this lets you set up a number. So, let's say you want to be alerted every time your teen goes 65 miles an hour. Well, you can do that, and every time the car hits 65 miles an hour, it'll register on the report card. And the system goes all the way up to 75. But if you're going that fast, well, you're in trouble, mister. This is the readout. So, this is probably the most important part. This is the report card, as if teens didn't have enough report cards. So, it tells you how far the driver's gone. This is maximum speed. This is over speed warning. This tells you how many times the teen went over the speed warning that you set. Forward collision alert, forward collision braking alert, stability control, and ABS active. One of the things you might be wondering is, this sounds very dystopian, having all this information flying around. But, in fact, all this information stays in the car, and if the parent wants this readout, they have to actually physically come into the car and read it. There's a couple reasons for this. It's mostly security and privacy, but there's a more fundamental reason, and that is, if you need a constant alert to how your teen is driving in real time, maybe you don't trust your teen to drive at all.
