Tesla software update offers family friendly features

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Tesla is making moves that may make cars like the Model Y and Model 3 more attractive as family cars. A software update is bringing new features such as Night Curfew to the vehicles, allowing parents to enforce the times when teens in the household are allowed to drive. A pin code would be needed to alter the settings. And the update also will allow parental monitoring of driving habits…and allow the setting of maximum speed and acceleration capabilities. In addition…parents are also able to prevent features like collision warnings and automatic emergency braking from being turned off. Vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death of 15 to 24 year olds…and are responsible for hundreds of thousands of injuries. Perhaps the new tech can make a difference.
