Drunk Driving? Wont be able to do it anymore

Alcohol can make us do stupid things, accidents are the worst part of them. But technology is growing all the way to help us in that aspect also.

The new Driver Alcohol Detection System for safety ( DADSS) fitted in cars to measure the alcohol level in our blood . In case it is found above 0.08 the car will be automatically disabled preventing us from drinking and driving.

How it works -
There are two sub parts of this system based on -

1) Touch - TruTouch and Takata are working together to develop  the touch based system.
an infrared light will be shined through the driver's fingertip and will only take about a second to get the perfect reading.

2)Breath - Stockholm-based autoliv development are working quite hard to develop the breath based DADSS it's sensor will be fitted in the steering wheel . The exhaled breath will be drawn into the sensor and it also uses infrared
light beams to detect alcohol conectration in the blood.
