Two technologies are already being tested by a US federal agency.
In the US, the federal agency that is responsible for road safety plans to use technology to reduce road accidents caused by alcohol. For this, it works on devices that prevent drivers from starting their cars if the concentration of alcohol in the blood is above accepted level.
For now, it evokes two different technologies. The first is a breathalyzer installed on the steering wheel or the driver's door, which will analyze the breath of it (without having to go near) that will block the vehicle in the event that a rate too high is detected alcohol. The second is a sensor located at the start button that will scan the finger of the driver to determine if the rate does not exceed the legal limit.
Of course, the idea of such devices does not please everyone. But the federal agency says that for now, there is no question of requiring that manufacturers integrate these sensors in their vehicles. However, it would be possible for example to offer the option. In addition, a commercial version will probably not be available until 5-8 years. However, the US federal agency already plans to test prototypes on government vehicles.
