US accident investigators want alcohol breathalyzers in all new vehicles
The NTSB is also calling for the adoption of intelligent speed adaptation technology that would limit vehicle speeds in certain circumstances, as well as driver monitoring tech that could pick up on intoxicated behavior behind the wheel.
Because DADSS' new systems are passive, meaning the driver doesn't need to take any action for them to work, there are several hurdles both the program and the NHTSA have to jump to get them road ready. "Researchers have reported that the development team has identified a passive breath alcohol detector with high sensitivity, but it is not currently available in mass quantities," the NTSB said.
Touch-based systems have a tech problem too: DADSS are having a hard time getting them shrunk down to the point that they'll work in a vehicle without sacrificing accuracy, precision and speed.
