• Are there additional functions that you would like to see included in a prototype safe teen car?
The following additional functions were suggested:
• Drowsiness detection or attention alert system, since chronic sleep deprivation is an issue for
teen drivers;
• Steering/lane keeping, headway maintenance;
• More general detection of inattention/distraction (not just technology use), although this is
acknowledged to be hard to measure;
• Situation/event logging; technology is currently available to log notable events;
• Reporting functions, parental notification, video recording (like DriveCam), report cards;
and
• Web site access to show accumulation of driving experience, what is needed to get to certain
levels of driving capability.
