In future, cars might decide if driver is drunk

half the cost of cars is Orwell junk.
this is just another testing the bounds of socialism we will allow.
Unfortunately the agencies do not not answer to Americans.

I recall the seatbelt interlocks of the late 70's,when cars would "decide"
the belts were not latched,and your car would not start,leaving you
stranded. I can see the alk tester deciding you are intoxicated when you're
not,and you're stuck somewhere. like if you're giving a drunk a ride
home,or if you just had a slug of cough syrup,or are wearing too much
cologne.

I'm thinking Death Valley, where it dies from the heat while you're
out photographing the sand dunes...

Or if you just fueled your flex-fuel car that is equipped with this
sensor system and spilled a little of that E-85 on your hands...
