For most parents, handing a set of car keys to a teenage driver for the very first time is a worrying experience. That's why we've listed several features that offer peace of mind and are currently available on new cars. And while some, like airbags or seatbelts, are safety features, others are technologically advanced gadgets like Kia's UVO system, designed to help keep tabs on young drivers and limit their behavior on the roads.
Kia UVO
While an increasing number of cars are adding infotainment technology to their options lists, Kia's UVO system touts an especially thorough voice command function. Designed to help drivers place hands-free calls and adjust the vehicle's stereo, UVO may at first seem like it encourages concentration on activities besides driving. But since many young drivers are likely to fiddle with the stereo and place calls without help from voice commands, we think UVO provides a great way to ensure that young drivers keep their hands on the wheel while they're doing it. While the system is currently only offered in the Optima, Rio, Sorento and Soul, Kia says it will become available in all its vehicles within a few years.
