SMART CARS WITH DRINKING DETECTION SYSTEM !!

 Many of the road accidents happens today are because of the drivers who drive vehicles after consuming liquors. Driving in India after consuming liquors is an offense and I believe it is a illegal in any parts of the world  as reckless driving  after consuming liquor may claim many innocent life.
Researchers publicly demonstrated a car-embeddable sensor system that cleverly locks down the engine if it detects that the driver’s blood alcohol level was above the legal limit.
Through the use of strategically placed sensors in places like the steering wheel and door locks, the North America Driver Alcohol Detection Systems for Safety, created by QinetiQ, a research facility in Waltham, Massachusetts, would analyze a driver’s skin or breath to determine a driver’s level of intoxication.
The proposed model of the system consist of many sensors controlled by a closed processing system. The sensors are fitted in the doors,hand rest,steering wheel or any other place where their is a direct physical contact with the driver, before ignition the driver may have to blow b into a breathalyzer type device before the car can be started.  , if the control system detects the driver in drank or dozy condition then the ignition system will automatically lock up and the car will not start.

Happy driving !!
