The NHTSA has been trying to get drunk-driving-detection technology into cars for years and GM is working to help create such technology.
Cars can tell you’re tired by watching your eyes, your smoothness of inputs, and whether you swerve too much. How will cars be able to detect drunk drivers and will that technology be mandatory on all new cars? At the moment, the most common drunk driving detector is the breathalyzer test, which determines a driver’s blood-alcohol content (BAC) from their breath.
“We’ve been working with regulators on that,” said GM CEO Mary Barra. “We have technology to do that. “I think that’s technology that’s coming that I think is going to be good for everyone.”
