Nissan unveils concept car with anti-drunk driving technology - GoFuckYourself.com

Just as expected, Nissan has indeed rolled out a concept vehicle that showcases its long-awaited anti-drunk driving technology. The vehicle sports "multiple preventative features" designed to curb inebriated operation of vehicles, and essentially detects the driver's state of sobriety and kicks into action if you've had a bit much. Amongst the detection agents are alcohol odor sensors built into the locking shift knob, seat-mounted sensors that can activate a voice and navigation screen warning, and a facial monitoring system that determines your "state of consciousness through your eyes." Regrettably, there's still no word as to when this system could actually hit showroom floors, but if the automaker has shelled out enough dough to craft a concept vehicle, we'd imagine it's not too far out.

All the young hollywood stars should buy this car lol

It's scary to think, but they could lose business by including a device like this. I bet it will be introduced as an option only, which kinda defeats the purpose..... (although it does mean that daddy's girl may be a little safer)

So, when 3 drunk people have a designated driver who is entirely sober, this would still go off? That's stupid.
