Whatever the mandated tech will turn out to be, it almost certainly won't be breathalyzer interlocks.

- curryst 5y agoThese are the specifications from the bill: (A) can-- (i) passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired; and (ii) prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected; (B) can-- (i) passively and accurately detect whether the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the blood alcohol concentration described in section 163(a) of title 23, United States Code; and (ii) prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit is detected; or (C) is a combination of systems described in subparagraphs So breathalyzer interlocks would be a functional solution under the bill. It'll probably be the solution, because I don't hold out a lot of faith that your car will be able to analyze your driving in real time and lock you out without an absurd number of false positives.
