SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Ford's "MyKey" technology hopes to cut down on car accidents involving teen drivers by issuing car owners a key that limits the car's speed and audio volume.

Ford invented the technology as a way to help give parents of teen drivers piece of mind. A quick rundown of some of the technology's features includes a speed alert chime when car reaches 45, 55, and 65 miles per hour, the key can also be programmed to mute the car's radio if someone’s seatbelt is unbuckled.

In addition to safety the technology also hopes to help drivers be more fuel efficient by providing low fuel warnings to the driver a lot earlier.

Ford representatives will be at the Heritage Lincoln Mercury car dealership on West Genesee Street from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to show people how the technology works.

In addition to Syracuse, company representatives will also be making stops in Buffalo, Rochester, Albany and Poughkeepsie.
