Nissan's anti drunk driving




Safe-driving is one of my 'labels' ! Drunk-driving is one of the elements of safe-driving.
Good to hear, Nissan has rolled out a concept that showcases its anti-drunk driving (!) technology. The vehicle sports "multiple preventative features" designed to curb inebriated operation of vehicles, and essentially detects the driver's state of sobriety and kicks into action if you've had a bit much. Amongst the detection agents are alcohol odor sensors built into the locking shift knob, seat-mounted sensors that can activate a voice and navigation screen warning, and a facial monitoring system that determines your "state of consciousness through your eyes."
We await its mass roll-out ! SO drivers in habit of drunk-driving, watch-out :)
