OnStar Pilot Feature Helps Parents Keep Tabs on Teens.

“What parent hasn’t asked their teenaged driver to call or send a text when they arrive somewhere, only to not hear from them?” OnStar President Linda Marshall said in a statement.
General Motors' OnStar unit is testing a feature that will allow it's subscribers to pinpoint the location of their vehicles remotely. This service will allow the vehicle's owner to keep tabs on the car, as well as young drivers. 

Through the service, dubbed Family Link, a subscriber can use a web site to view a map with the vehicle’s exact location at any time via a text or e-mail.
The pilot also will test features that notify the owner if the vehicle tops a certain speed or leaves a certain vicinity.
OnStar is asking about 10,000 active U.S. subscribers to participate in the pilot.

OnStar is still in testing phase of this feature till late September. Depending on the feedback will result whether OnStar will release it to the general public and how much this feature will cost.
