How about a steering wheel cover that can be used to help train student drives learn to keep their hand at “10 and 2” (or “9 and 3” if you are of that persuasion). Touch sensors could be placed at the desired hand positions. A pizio speaker would chirp when the driver is out of position for more than a few seconds. This allows for setting of the turn blinkers or turning lights on etc. An accelerometer could sense when the wheel is beyond a certain number of degrees from center and would then allow the hands to be shifted for turning corners etc. without the alarm sounding. The accelerometer could also be used to monitor acceleration and deceleration rates for “feedback” purposes after the driving period was completed.
