It's easy to lose sight of the problem. The goal is not to catch drunk drivers, what we want is safe roads.
- crankylinuxuser 7y agoWell, once we have automatic driving cars, drinking/drunk driving simply won't matter. It's one of those first derivative effects of automatic vehicles. (edit: uh, seriously, -1's? How is this contentious at all? It's a matter of fact that a drunk person has no bearing on safety with a automatic car. Sigh, HN.)
