GM safety engineer states; “We developed this system so
parents could use it as a teaching tool with their kids – they can discuss and
reinforce safe driving habits.” GM has called its system the first in the
automotive industry that can let parents view, on the car’s display, how their
teen has been driving the vehicle. Teen Driver tells parents how many miles the car was
driven on the previous trip, the top speed reached, the amount of speed
warnings, stability control events, as well as anti-lock break events. The 2016 Chevy Malibu will be the SAFEST car
for teen drivers, and if the vehicle is equipped with the technology, Teen
Driver will also tell if the car had any forward collision alerts and forward
collision braking events.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
(IIHS), in the United States, 16-19 year olds have a fatal crash rate per mile
that is 3x higher than the rate of drivers age 20+. The 2016 Malibu will debut
in early April at the New York International Auto Show, and the vehicle is
expected to go on sale at the end of 2015.
