Don't Drink and Drive - because this car will stop you
Drink driving is a killer, with almost one in three crash fatalities in Ireland being related to alcohol consumption. Globally, as much as a quarter of traffic accidents involve people who are suffering the effects of alcohol. This has to stop and new technology could help to curb the issue.
Science-sorts in American are working on a number of solutions to the problem, including simply stopping people from driving while under the influence. They do this in a number of ways, including sophisticated sensors which can be mounted on the door or steering wheel and are capable of sensing the alcohol on your breath even with a limited sample.
