Push to install 'alcohol detection devices' in newer cars
There's a new push to install alcohol detection devices in all new cars.
Officials with the National Transportation Safety Board think it could keep the number of fatal crashes down.
Experts said the car would have automatic sensors that would stop an impaired driver from taking off.
"Especially when you're starting the car, this is the first time it's going to just try to get a sense of your breath," Ahmed Banafa, an engineering professor at San Jose University, said.
"I look at this technology as part of this progression we see in the car technology. Electrical vehicles, self-driving cars 바카라 게임 웹사이트 now we're talking about safety."
Volvo is already working on these alcohol detection systems, which also include in-car cameras that can monitor the driver for intoxication.
The NTSB doesn't have the authority to require the technology, but it can put pressure on automakers and government agencies.
