The Mandatory In-Car Breathalyzer Is Only a Few Years Away


Recommended Posts

Starting in a few years, all new vehicles sold in the U.S. must have the ability to passively detect when drivers are under the influence of alcohol. If they are drunk, the system has to immobilize the car. If this sounds a bit sudden, it actually isn’t. According to Automotive News, the rule was hidden in the depths of President Biden’s $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act from late 2021, but by next year a final rule must be issued on the new regulation

"Passively detect" if someone is drunk and immobilize the vehicle.

Good luck with that.

I find it hard to see an accurate, passively detecting system that would be anything reasonably priced to add to every vehicle.   This money from the bill will just get shifted somewhere else and probably the intent from the get go.

Volvo has something in the works that can detect alcohol through the skin when you grab the steering wheel 

Guess we better stop sterilizing our hands for Covid...

Jesus, you drink enough mouthwash to get drunk?  Crazy fucker.

😂 I rarely drink and if I do it sure as hell ain’t mouthwash.

I was just saying I’ve read before mouthwash can skew a breathalyzer which is what this thread is about

Lol.  Lloyd is dumb enough to drink rubbing alcohol, in your case I was just busting your balls.  When someone puts a ball on a T it is rather hard to not hit it off...
