Also I don't think the BMW here was at fault for causing the crash, it unfortunately sounds like maybe the new driver was showing off for friends. Really sad to see.
Or don't give him a car if he isn't responsible. Many of us learned to drive without tech to keep us safe. Frankly if you look at the wreck in this story the high tech modern car didn't save them, what killed them was a lack of responsibility and respect and high speed.

Take the time to teach your kid to drive safely. And if you don't think that they are mature enough don't give them a car. The car in this wreck was probably a newish BMW, did it save them? No it did not.
