Today, the Denver Post ran a story about alcohol detection technologies and quoted Sue Ferguson, Program Director for the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety:

Some foresee a time when drunken- driving deaths will be rare because every car will come with an interlock device.

” ‘Star Wars’ meets drunk driving,” Susan Ferguson labeled it at a traffic safety summit in New Mexico.

The program she manages, Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety, has awarded grants to develop advanced technologies that could detect intoxication without requiring a driver to breathe into a tube…

“I think within 10 years, we could have technologies that would be vehicle-ready.”

Just more proof that your next car could come equipped with an interlock.
