New Cars to Help Decrease Drunk Driving
Finally, something proactive to stop drunk driving before it starts… Nissan Motors in Japan is thinking about installing different features to make it more difficult for drunk drivers to even start their cars. One of the options is using a breathalyzer that requires drivers to blow into a straw-like tube and if they are intoxicated, the car will not start. Another option would be to make the drivers enter a personal identification number before starting their car (something that might prove difficult for people who’ve had too much to drink). The good news is that if it’s happening in Japan and it’s successful these technologies will likely spread to other parts of the world.
