"We need technology to combat this problem, and what's great about this technology is, it's going to keep you from going over the speed limit but it's also going to be the building blocks," said Tammy Gweedo McGee, executive director of the Gweedo Memorial Foundation.

McGee has been advocating for safe driving through her foundation since her 16-year-old son Connor Guido died in a car crash while on the way to a homecoming party. She has partnered with organizations like LifeSafer to promote road safety.
