If the parents don’t respond it texts 911 with car location. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanin Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 That's awesome! Crazy that it took a 12 year old to come up with the idea though... the idea is so simple and makes sense. Go kid!! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnwife Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Good for her! Although I am fairly certain similar devices (maybe not with texting, but with alarms or something) have been invented before. If I recall correctly, they never became mass produced due to liability. After all, can you imagine the lawsuits that would happen (here in the US anyway) if such a device failed and a tragedy occurred? I am not sure how to get around that in our culture here in the US.
