Re: Car Sez: you're too drunk to drive
My car occasionally tells me that I'm not paying attention. I am assuming it monitors my steering wheel, but for the life of me (bad pun) I can't make it happen deliberately."Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world." - Bono

Re: Car Sez: you're too drunk to drive
My ex-Brother-in-law got nailed twice for driving drunk. By the same cop, at the same corner, a week apart. He was thankfully a very careful drunk driver, but he did it for years. When he and my sis were roommates with me, I remember waking up to an ungodly smell in the hallway. He got so ****faced, he slipped and found himself laying on the floor, so he slept there. While sleeping, he **** himself."If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito"

Re: Car Sez: you're too drunk to drive
man, that’s just unAmerican. It’s only 10,000 a year. What are the stats on drunk gun deaths?The bill calls for the Secretary of Transportation to issue a rule in 2024 requiring all new passenger cars to be equipped with technology that can “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired” and “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected.” Put simply, if someone has a blood alcohol level above the legal limit, he or she will not be able to start the car.Comment

Re: Car Sez: you're too drunk to drive
I repeat my high school essay. A car should know if the would be driver has a license. I doubt we had the technology back then, but we've had it since. If you don't have a valid license, you can't start the car. Is that not a good idea?"Banning books in spite of the 1st amendment, but refusing to regulate guns in spite of "well regulated militia' being in the 2nd amendment makes no sense. Can't think of anyone ever shot by a book

Re: Car Sez: you're too drunk to drive
I'm eagerly awaiting the day when such capabilities are multi-phasic --
you're too angry to drive
you're too stupid to drive
you're too unhinged to drive

Been talk about this ever since the warning belts on seatbelts were installed. Nobody figured out a system that couldn't be defeated relatively easily. Another problem is falsely triggering it.Comment

Re: Car Sez: you're too drunk to drive
One of the youtube snow removal videos showed a couple front loaders going to clear out a parking lot mid morning and there was one lone car blocking things. So when they finally found the owner to move it she had to blow in a device to start it, and it wouldn’t let her. Oh well.Comment
