A collaboration between the federal safety agency and an industry consortium is making strides in developing technology that can prevent drunk driving.
This video explains how new technology, developed as part of the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) program, can help prevent alcohol-impaired drivers from operating vehicles. For the story, click here.
The federal agency releases guidelines on how state governments can improve the use of ignition interlock devices to prevent impaired driving.
The goal is to create an easy-to-use, noninvasive system that can accurately and reliably detect when a driver is above the legal alcohol limit of 0.08 BAC. Trials have already demonstrated this technology's value for vehicle fleets.
Working with the auto industry, the federal agency hopes to fast-track widespread use of seatbelt interlocks, driver alcohol-detection systems and forward collision avoidance systems.
