Cars Will Fight Drunk Drivers

The problem of drunk driving exists in many countries, but each solves it in its own way. So, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) decided to fight drunk driving with the help of advanced technologies. In the United States, the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) is being developed.

The initiative is designed to prevent a drunk person from driving a vehicle. The system is based on a two-tier driver check. The breath analyzer built into the steering wheel and the infrared scanner in the engine start button determine the level of alcohol in the human blood. If the indicator exceeds the permissible value, then the engine simply does not start.

According to The Detroit News, NHTSA does not intend to introduce mandatory use of this technology, but wants to see it as an option for new cars in the future. Before the commercial implementation of the system of recognition of a drunk driver is five years away, but its testing will begin before that date.
