Topic- New Chevy car tells parents how well their teens are driving.

Title- Chevy Malibu reports back to parents on teens’ driving

Source- CNN News

Summary- The new Chevy Malibu could give parents of teen drivers a report of how well their drivers are doing and correct bad habits before they start. Chevy says its technology, called Teen Driver, is a first for the industry: a built-in system that tracks car data, allowing parents to view how their teen drove. The new Chevy car will be available in the late fall of 2015.

Reaction- I think that Chevy was right to make the car. According to the article the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. I personally feel like there have been to many car crashes that were started by teens. With the new technology in the cars I feel like these accidents can be reduced by a lot. This event does not really affect me because I cannot drive, but in a way it does because I ride in a car every day and who knows when a teen driver might be irresponsible and possibly cost some their lives.

World Impact- I don’t think this impacts the whole world but some places and people it does. It affects the teens because it will make them safer because their parents are monitoring. It affect the teens parents because they will know that their children are safer. Lastly it affect the Chevy company because they will get more profits because the car probably cost more than a regular Chevy car.
