The system may allow communications to be sent from a parent computing device to a particular child computing device to set conditions for notifying the parent or superior of the driving behavior of a vehicle. Child computing devices may collect drive data (e.g., vehicle telematics data) for the system to evaluate and determine whether conditions are met (e.g., whether parental restrictions, like a geo-fence, are violated). Further, the system may send notifications to child computing devices and parent computing devices indicating whether the drive data meets the conditions of an agreement between a parent and teen. The system may also provide a web portal for use in forming the agreement between parents and their teens. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system, comprising: a first computing device associated with a first user in a vehicle, the first computing device configured to: transmit, via an application executing on the first computing device, data representing a driving behavior of the vehicle; transmit, to a second computing device, a notification indicating that the first computing device received a user selection to terminate the application, the notification further indicating that the first computing device will stop transmitting additional data; and the second computing device, the second computing device associated with a second user and configured to receive the data and to receive the notification. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the first computing device is further configured to: receive data identifying a geographical region; determine a current location of the vehicle; and responsive to determining that the current location of the vehicle is outside of the geographical region, transmit a second notification to the second computing device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the first computing device is further configured to: receive data identifying an updated geographical region; and output an alert, via a graphical interface, wherein the alert identifies the updated geographical region. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the first computing device is further configured to: receive data identifying a plurality of geographical driving routes; determine a current location of the vehicle; and responsive to determining that the current location of the vehicle is not located on any of the plurality of geographical driving routes, transmit a second notification to the second computing device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the first computing device is further configured to: receive data identifying a threshold speed; determine a current speed of the vehicle; compare the current speed of the vehicle with the threshold speed; and responsive to determining that the current speed of the vehicle is greater than the threshold speed, transmit a second notification to the second computing device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, wherein the first computing device is further configured to: receive data identifying an updated threshold speed; and output an alert identifying the updated threshold speed. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, wherein the first computing device is further configured to: terminate, in response to receiving the user selection, the application; and automatically re-launch the application after a predetermined time period. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the notification further indicates a power level of a battery of the first computing device. ### Claim 9 A method, comprising: transmitting, via an application executing on a first computing device associated with a first user in a vehicle, data representing a driving behavior of the vehicle; and transmitting, by the first computing device and to a second computing device, a notification indicating that the first computing device received a user selection to terminate the application, the notification further indicating that the first computing device will stop transmitting additional data. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: receiving data identifying a geographical region; determining a current location of the vehicle; and responsive to determining that the current location of the vehicle is outside of the geographical region, transmitting a second notification to the second computing device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: receiving data identifying an updated geographical region; and outputting an alert, via a graphical interface, wherein the alert identifies the updated geographical region. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: receiving data identifying a plurality of geographical driving routes; determining a current location of the vehicle; and responsive to determining that the current location of the vehicle is not located on any of the plurality of geographical driving routes, transmitting a second notification to the second computing device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: receiving data identifying a threshold speed; determining a current speed of the vehicle; comparing the current speed of the vehicle with the threshold speed; and responsive to determining that the current speed of the vehicle is greater than the threshold speed, transmitting a second notification to the second computing device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, further comprising: receiving data identifying an updated threshold speed; and outputting an alert identifying the updated threshold speed. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: terminating, in response to receiving the user selection, the application; and automatically re-launching the application after a predetermined time period. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the notification further indicates a power level of a battery of the first computing device. ### Claim 17 A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a first computing device to: transmit, via an application executing on the first computing device, data representing a driving behavior of a vehicle; and transmit, to a second computing device, a notification indicating that the first computing device received a user selection to terminate the application, the notification further indicating that the first computing device will stop transmitting additional data. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, further cause the first computing device to: receive data identifying a geographical region; determine a current location of the vehicle; and responsive to determining that the current location of the vehicle is outside of the geographical region, transmit a second notification to the second computing device. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, further cause the first computing device to: receive data identifying an updated geographical region; and output an alert, via a graphical interface, wherein the alert identifies the updated geographical region. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, further cause the first computing device to receive data identifying a plurality of geographical driving routes; determine a current location of the vehicle; and responsive to determining that the current location of the vehicle is not located on any of the plurality of geographical driving routes, transmit a second notification to the second computing device.
