Teen Creates Device to Track Speeding

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the until-the-target-figures-out-how-to-hack-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A teen in Massachusetts has created a device that he hopes will help prevent traffic fatalities among teenagers. The unit plugs into a car and uses GPS to track and report on speeding — but only while the car exceeds a limit set by parents, so as to minimize invasion of the teen's privacy."

    Why drive backwards? Just turn the GPS unit around so it's facing the other way...
