Apparently a law was passed some years ago that required car companies to design and implement a feature that passively determines whether you're too drunk to drive and just doesn't let you operate the car.I did look at the law itself and it specifically says it has to accurately measure your BAC in order to make that determination. How the fuck they expect to do that, I don't know. This was passed before the AI craze, but now that it's here, I suspect they might cheap out on it that way.A Yahoo article says that the deadline for this is 2027. The law doesn't specify a year, just like "three years after something".Full text in reply.

SEC. 24220. <<NOTE: 49 USC 30111 note.>> ADVANCED IMPAIRED DRIVING TECHNOLOGY. (a) Findings.--Congress finds that-- (1) alcohol-impaired driving fatalities represent approximately \1/3\ of all highway fatalities in the United States each year; (2) in 2019, there were 10,142 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in the United States involving drivers with a blood alcohol concentration level of .08 or higher, and 68 percent of the crashes that resulted in those fatalities involved a driver with a blood alcohol concentration level of .15 or higher; (3) the estimated economic cost for alcohol-impaired driving in 2010 was $44,000,000,000; (4) according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology can prevent more than 9,400 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities annually; and (5) to ensure the prevention of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities, advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology must be standard equipment in all new passenger motor vehicles. (b) Definitions.--In this section: (1) Advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology.--The term ``advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology'' means a system that-- (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 (A) and (B).

(d) <<NOTE: Compliance. Time period.>> Requirement.--To allow sufficient time for manufacturer compliance, the compliance date of the rule issued under subsection (c) shall be not earlier than 2 years and not more than 3 years after the date on which that rule is issued.

Reports.>> if the Federal motor vehicle safety standard required by subsection (c) has not been finalized by the date that is 10 years after the date of enactment of this Act, shall submit to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representative a report describing-- (A) the reasons why the Federal motor vehicle safety standard has not been finalized; (B) the barriers to finalizing the Federal motor vehicle safety standard; and (C) <<NOTE: Recommendations.>> recommendations to Congress to facilitate the Federal motor vehicle safety standard.

@Paradox How which? Breathalyzer ignition interlocks are common mandatory equipment on multiple drink driving convicts’ cars. Many breathalyzers can be falsed by the breath acetone levels that are raised by being on a ketogenic diet. #lang_en
