Wouldn’t mandatory breathalyzer ignition locks solve this problem? This is a proven technology that shouldn’t kill anyone as it’s being rolled out. Move fast and break things is great for websites and apps, but when human lives are at stake it requires strict ethical considerations.

Additionally, judicial remedies can only be applied after someone has already been caught drunk driving. So even if we applied them to all prosecuted drunk drivers, it is not a complete prophylactic.

It's not unlike how other rule introductions worked. Nobody banned old cars without seatbelts, they just required that all new cars have them.
