Ford MyKey from Ford Motor Co./AP

Ford Motor Co. is introducing a new technology that will help parents feel a little more at ease when giving their teenage children their cars.  The new technology is called MyKey, and it will be standard on the 2010 Ford Focus as well as other models of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercuryas they become updated.  With MyKey, you will be able to limit the speed limit on the vehicle to 80 mph, limit the audio volume on the vehicle, as well as have continuous sound alerts if the driver and passenger does not put on their seat belts.  MyKey works with a computer chip that is in a specially designed key.  You give your teenager the MyKey key and then you can have a regular key that will have no restrictions.  You also have the option of having a chime sound every time the car exceeds 45, 55, or 65 mph.  I think this is a great option and I hope it’s standard on even more cars when my children turn 16!
