What does Lisa say about all this?
“I hate it because it told on(告发)me,”said Lisa,now a wise 18yearold
cashier at Chuck E Chinese in Tucson,Arizona.
However,she unwillingly adds that the thing really worked.“When I first started driving,I had the gas down all the time.With that Auto Watch,I slowed down a lot.It was terrible.”she said.“If I ever had children,I’d probably make them have one just for suffering.”
The Auto Watch plugs(插上) under the dashboard of any cars built since 1995.It can be secretly fixed and hidden,or openly plugged in and left in full view on the passenger seat.
Aline Zoldbrod,a psychologist said that as a parent herself,she can see the advantage of the device.
“It could be an effective discouragement to dangerous driving,”she said.
To use it,car owners enter into a personal computer the maximum speed,engine speed,gear(汽车排挡) position and load which the car will allow drivers.The limits are then sent through a cable to the walletsized Auto Watch unit.
When the driver returns,the Auto Watch is taken out of the car and plugged back into the personal computer that shows how fast the car was driven,how many times the gas pedal(踏板) was floored and whether the car was turned on and off.
