Drunk Driving This technology will stop you from starting our car if you are drunk

According to reports, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's anti-drunk driving technology won't let you get away with driving drunk -- it won't even let you start the car.

The agency has revealed the prototype of two candidates for theDriver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) tech that it's been developing since 2008 at a recent event, sources say.

One is an unobtrusive breathalyzer mounted either on the steering wheel or the driver-side door that can "smell" your breath even if you don't lean in closely. The other is a touch sensor embedded in an ignition button or a gear shift that scans your finger for your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC).

Both car add-ons are capable of detecting whether your BAC is beyond the legal limit of 0.08, and both of them are designed to keep you from taking the car anywhere if that's the case.

A pretty useful feature which the agency hopes will reduce the amount of drunk-driving incidents across the country.
