Cars are becoming “smarter” with each passing day. In some cases, it is absolutely justified. Especially when behind the wheel sits a drunken man.
To drive drunk – criminally stupid. But how to prevent similar? Confidence is high technology.
For example – the system DADSS, experienced by the US Department of Transportation. The technology prevents the control if the status of the user is incorrect.
The full title of the project – Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety. The platform combines the 2 modules that define the degree of intoxication.
The first sensor – infrared. He fixes the level of alcohol in the blood and is built right into the ignition button. The second is more classical – analyzes the air exhaled by the owner.
What happens when the performance exceeds the limit? The motor just stops start. By reducing the risk of falling into an accident with a poor outcome.
Conclusion of DADSS
If you believe the media, widespread adoption of DADSS will start in 5 years. When the above-mentioned controller carries out all the necessary tests.
