We have highways with an 85 MPH speed limit here in Texas. Kind of makes the "Max 75 MPH" reporting system a bit wonky.
who would anyone buy there son or daughter a brand new car off the lot if they don't trust them in driving it?

It's a tricky business.

What if you just simply don’t set up the features? Then is it just a normal Malibu that allows you to go above 75mph?
What if you live in a snowy state and have to get up and down slushy, slippery hills in the snow? Your"report card" would show tons of stability-control and ABS events, and also wouldn't allow you to shut stability control off to rock the car back and forth! Seems like this system would become a hindrance where I live!

+orange9035 How does traction control affect being stuck in the snow. If you are stuck no amount of excess power that is limited by traction control can get you out. it may even help, by limiting the amount of torque applied to the wheels you can possibly regain more traction. Traction control is actually designed to help you when you in situations like being stuck in snow, since your wheels cannot regain the traction to get the car out of it's spot. Every winter, I've had no situation where I had to disable traction control, and toronto does recieve its fair share of snow.
@orange9035

+iamterence77 I'm saying a situation like this: if you have a steep driveway or a hill that you need to get up and it's snowy. Some cars (I've never driven a Chevy, so I can't say for this) have traction control that is so sensitive, if the wheels start losing traction, it'll cut the power by so much that the car eventually just stops moving. Disabling the traction control will disable that power reduction and can allow you to power up the hill. This is in Pittsburgh where it's hills and snow all over the place.

all you have to do is get a thermal imaging case for an iphone and right after the parent leaves the car, activate the sensor and it will give you a layout of where there finger has been on the keypad. You can also just a hook up a laptop to the computers control system and deactivate manually.

For everybody who is saying that kids won't afford this and parents won't buy them this. That's not the point of this car.

This is for when teen borrows parents car. Parents can monitor how it's being driven.
This could be used to show insurance company that your teen is a safer driver: demand a lower insurance rate.... no?
75 mph is only like 120 km ph! You really drive THAT slow? We go up to 140.

Introducing the 2016 Chevy Tattletale. I like that seatbelt-stop-music idea, it'll keep those kids safe on the road when they inevitably blast their annoying music no driver in the vicinity, other than themselves, enjoy.
fact of the matter is though that this car is designed for grandmas in florida
I bet the teens that would be forced to drive this car with those restrictions on would end up not considering buying a chevy when they grow up and chevy will lose their business.
I have a question: I see you press the touch-screen quite gently. Now, I'm used to smash the f*ck out of my touch devices, so I wonder if this would still work if you really pressed it hard?
Looking good...
What teen gets a BRAND NEW car when they just start driving? That is the better question.
I don't care how hard it is to be a teen. If you're driving a car follow the rules and be very alert.
I mean you have to blast fetty wap 😭🙌🏻
I'm glad my parents love me. My car makes 340WHP. They trust me not to be an idiot. I worked a job for my car, I worked on my car, therefore, it is my car.
The insurance company has a small device that you place in the glove box that does the same !

That monitoring system is one of those things that's there and nice to have, but wouldn't make or break my decision on a car purchase. If I didn't trust my (non-existent) child to drive responsibly, he / she simply would not have access to the car...monitoring system or not.
bypass the boot-loader and install a custom rom.. sorted
Everyone is complaining about the teen features on this vehicle, but I actually think that it is awesome! Teen drivers besides impaired drivers causes more wrecks than anyone, they are too distracted with what goes on around them, I love this feature!
75mph = 120 kph, that's normal freeway speed.
Having so many safety systems just makes for a less experienced driver.
Oh, and a 2015 teen would NEVER be able to figure out how to override or hack such a thing. Not like anyone has ever remotely hacked into a car's computer.
That's pretty good that way the kid drives safer XD the only thing I see wrong is the volume thing
Remember parental controls on TV's, consoles, firewalls.? this is just another one of those and will go the same way.
The report card will be used against you in court if you get in trouble though.
Yeah but my 14 Ford Focus has MyKEY which sets speed limits and speed warnings also.
Ford does the same with their “My Key” feature.

Being that I work for Chevrolet, YES! It's not about caring though, its about options that would appeal to customers. If a mother was looking for a vehicle focused on safety, with that being based on the fact of her teenager driving the car as well, she is more apt to purchase the Malibu over a competitors vehicle. I care about the individuals who drive the cars. Although, your right, not everyone does.

Would teen like to drive a car which give stats about their drive to their parents?
Every single Chevy vehicle since 2014 has teen driver mode it is not just on the Malibu
so many computers that can fuck up anytime
So this feature will not been used, maybe in 6 years when the price of thoses cars drop.
when technology goes too far.
It is really nothing new, i got a 2015 Malibu LT and a 2012 mustang, the mystang you can program each key and limit even speed set for that key. So when my teenager daughter drives. The car will behave less like a musclecar and limits the topspeed. She actually insists on using that key. But my point is, such systems are not new.
Anyone agree this design snagged a bit of looks from Chrysler 200? ... rear end, perhaps?
75 mph ur in trouble xD very speed much dangerous wow :D
lmao if you don't trust your kids this much then don't get them a car
