GM has announced that it will be offering a way for parents to track their teens’ driving behavior in order to help cut down on accidents.

In the U.S., the fatal crash rate per mile driven for 16- to 19-year-olds is nearly three times the rate for drivers ages 20 and over, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

“Teen Driver,” as GM is calling it, will debut in the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu.

The new system can be set to track the distance driven, the maximum speed traveled, any over-speed warnings issued during a drive, stability control events, antilock brake events, forward collision alerts and forward-collision braking events (if the vehicle is equipped to offer them).
