from the article: NHTSA says on its website that "in order to be considered for widespread deployment, the DADSS technology must be seamless, accurate, and precise, and unobtrusive to the sober driver. It must also be proven reliable to be installed in the vehicle fleet and publically favorable." Sadly, I suspect most of the public would find the idea favorable.

Yep and in Illinois you can get stopped with a truck bed full of dope of any kind and only get a court date. No detainment or cash bail.

I hope they can work all the bugs out, this could be a great thing. Way too many people die on our roads because of drunk drivers.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

It will probably save some lives.
Lot of people will need cabs to get home. Some don't live in an area served by cabs. I grew up in a small town with no cabs. I wonder if some classes of vehicles will be excluded. Banning private transportation would save more lives. Lets just do that.

After this there will have to be a working cell phone locked in the glove box b4 you can start a car. I'm guessing it would stop a few accidents

a 50ft garden hose and some duct tape will defeat the breathalyzers. tape the hose to the nozzle of the device, blow into it and start the car. untape and stick the hose out the window to clear the "bad" air out.

I hope they can work all the bugs out, this could be a great thing. Way too many people die on our roads because of drunk drivers. Often from head injuries too. Make car drivers and passengers wear helmets.
