Ford's New MyKey Technology

From Ford.com:

  • Ford will become the first automaker to allow parents to block their teens from receiving phone calls and deter text messages while driving with a new MyKey® Do Not Disturb technology that launches on the Ford Explorer in early 2012
  • The most complete research shows manually operating electronic devices while driving substantially increases the risk of accidents. Ford SYNC® reduces that risk by allowing drivers to operate their devices through voice commands while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road
  • The riskiest drivers on the road, teens are a special group that would benefit from restrictions such as those offered through graduated drivers licensure programs and MyKey’s practical limits that provide a technological complement to such laws
  • The Do Not Disturb feature, which can be controlled by parents, adds to MyKey’s other innovations such as a “No belts, no tunes” feature that mutes the audio system until front occupants buckle up
