Nissan car detects drunkenness.

A new Nissan car can detect drunkenness by a sensor on the gear lever, and immobilise the vehicle.

Wanna buy??

From Japan Today

Quote:

Nissan Motor Co on Friday announced a new concept car packed with technologies to deter driving while under the influence of alcohol. Inside the gear stick knob is a highly sensitive odor sensor.

If alcohol is detected in the perspiration on a driver's palm the vehicle is immobilized and a voice warns against drink driving along with a message on the navigation system monitor.

Does this mean that all Garda checkpoints will have a Nissan parked up which you they forcibly put you into and the car will advise them of your level of intoxication. Whats next a Volkswagon that knows when your stoned when you check your mirrors.
