Default Ford Parent's key

Hi,

Has anyone heard about the parent key Ford has in the pipe line, you can limit the speed of your childs car, and turn the music down/off if seat belts are not being worn etc.

Sounds really cool

Some cars already have technology where by the car can not go above a pre determined speed unless you are on track, it knows this info by GPS.

If Ford do introduce it, I can gurantee it's going to be a subscription service akin to "BMW'S Assist" if it works on the same principle, i.e. remotly or at extra cost option.
