Then I'm going to require electric tape over the sensors in my car.

Though the two 2024 reports documented some promising technologies, neither report found commercially available technology that detects driver alcohol impairment accurately and passively.”

So what tech are they gonna use? Something that doesn't exist yet? How does a camera sort a drunk person from someone with a disability? Is this going to deny black people at double the rate just because facial tech has a harder time with dark complexions?
