Tesla EVs to get 'night curfew' parental control feature

The parental control prevents teenagers from disabling the features

According to news reports, Tesla is likely to introduce parental control features on its EVs, as part of its rumoured upcoming software update.

The software update will introduce a feature called 'night curfew', which apparently will send parents a notification via the Tesla mobile app when the EV is driven past the curfew time of their teenagers.

In addition to this, the update will also allow parents to set a maximum speed limit and also reduce acceleration. The 'Chill' feature restricts the EV's horsepower and torque limiting the acceleration. The feature allows parents to set limitations for other drivers. Also, the parental control feature prevents teenagers from disabling the speed limit, collision warnings and automatic emergency braking on their own.

Tesla though is yet to announce when the 'night curfew' and other parental control features will be released onto its production vehicles.
