Alcohol Detection Systems Will Now Be Mandatory In All New Vehicles

[tnt]

this is so american, right?

I spent some time in Europe and Scandinavia, and the attitude toward drinking and driving is just so totally different. There was ALWAYS a designated driver, no big deal, people easily limited their intake to ensure they were safe to drive…

In America to keep people from plowing into each other drunk, we need to invent brand new tech and write things into law…

I know some harrowing stories about people hit by drunks, so on a personal level, I applaud anything to limit those deaths, but this seems kind of extreme…have to think about it some more.

Look more stuff you are forced to buy so friends of elected dems can get rich.

[Cratic3947]

You can just use a can of air to fool it obviously. This is about dems getting donations.

I’m sure there is more info out there this is from the short local article.

“Bud Zaouk, President and CEO of KEA Technologies leads a team of engineers and scientists who are testing and evaluating the DADSS technology. He says it is a non-invasive system.

“You get in the vehicle the sensor will detect if you have alcohol and how much you have alcohol,” Zaouk said. “It will be something that tells you that you are above the legal limit in your state. You can start the vehicle but not allow you to move the car.”

Trust us. We know what’s good for you.

You know what. My bad. I read that way too fast. I thought it operated as some sort of breathlyzer you would breath into.

I don’t know how I feel about their tech though.

Don’t worry. They’re experts. Technology never malfunctions.

It’s only going to completely control your ability to drive.

It is just another surveillance device that you have to pay for.

Just another thing the working poor won’t be able to afford to repair cheaply so the dems leadership can get rich. It there any freedom you don’t want the govt to take away besides killing the unborn?

Is this before or after they mandate smoke detectors and fire extinguishers for Chevy Volts?

[Cratic3947]

Should this apply to E-bikes?

[zantax]

Does it apply to autonomous vehicles?

[Cratic3947]

and notice like Obama care they did not talk about it during the election. But then, when you steal elections who cares about informing the public, right?

Maybe the sensor is in the drivers seat.

Designated driver? Good question.

Supposedly it detects breath. if you get into a car with 4 other drunks, at some point in time the average breath in the vehicle will be considered drunk, right? Even if the driver is sober.

Which poses the question, does it compensate for driving with the windows down? How about convertibles?

due in 2026

That’s the earliest. We won’t see this as commonplace for decades. First, it’s only going to be new cars. That’s after they get past the passenger problem. It’s going to be very difficult to have a system that doesn’t specifically engage the driver and still determine only the driver is drunk.

if if’s reqd equipment it will be there in 2026.

wonder how much it will cost us

Not a dime. The truck I drive now is the last vehicle I will own. One of the few benefits of aging.

@WuWei

We should be able to drink a beer on the way from work. Like the good ol’ days.

Well, as long as you drink with your head out the window, I don’t see a problem with that.
