CTOnews.com, December 14 (Xinhua) the inflation reduction Act passed by Congress last year includes a provision requiring the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to determine the most effective way to prevent drunk driving. On Tuesday, NHTSA took an important step by submitting an advance notice of the proposed rules aimed at gathering up-to-date information on drink-driving testing techniques.

Although this technology sounds promising, there are still many unanswered questions about Tu Yuan Pexels. It is worth noting that despite this new trend today, the final rules, regulations and requirements may take several years to achieve.

NHTSA said it plans to add anti-drunk driving technology to all new cars in the next few years. According to a statement from the agency, about 13400 people died in drunk driving accidents in the United States in 2021, causing economic losses of about $280 billion (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 2 trillion yuan).

Obviously, there is an urgent need for better ways to reduce drunk driving incidents. As a result, NHTSA wants automakers to add technology to all new cars to monitor whether drivers are drunk. NHTSA is investigating several techniques to detect drunk driving, including testing drivers' breathing or using optical techniques to measure blood alcohol levels in real time.

However, there are some potential problems in the application of this technology. For example, what is the reliability of these devices? At present, it seems that no technology can be put into practical use immediately, and any system that does not work properly will cause major problems. If the sensor fails and the sober driver is mistakenly judged to be drunk, it may cause him to be trapped on the road. On the other hand, if the system fails to detect drunk driving and allows drunken drivers to drive freely, the consequences will be even more serious.

NHTSA acknowledges that they still have a lot of problems to solve, and we will learn more about their plans as the research progresses.
