Seems like a system that would be easy to cheat...like by wearing gloves

Re: Toyota creating alcohol detecting car

it'll never catch on... there are too many variables. the driver could be wearing gloves, or glasses for the eye detector thing (which would be retarded anyways cuz what if you go to the eye doctor and your pupils are big? then you cant drive ) they could try all sorts of things but realistically the only way to have a *sure fire* way of preventing drunks from driving would be to have a breathalyzer connected to teh ignition that you gotta blow into every 15-20 mins.

Re: Toyota creating alcohol detecting car

Some States have been using a breathalizer for the ignition system for a few years now, but it really doesn't seem to work too well.
Even so, if Toyota installs this on their cars, it will only be a short matter-of-time before someone begins to sell a bypass kit on ebay :rolleyes:

"the sensors detect abnormal steering" maybe this will stop ricers from driving too

Re: Toyota creating alcohol detecting car

Now all they need is to force the people who have drinking and driving problems to buy this car.

If someone knows that they love to go out and get wasted, then drive home like they always have because they are " a good drunk driver " theyre not going to buy this car...

The problem is they want to stop drunk driving accidents/fatalities but nobody that is in that situation will buy that car for that reason.

They should make a car that detects other ppl on the road that are drunk and swerving towards you and then veer your car off the road into a ditch and kill you.

Re: Toyota creating alcohol detecting car

if a special camera shows that the driver's pupils are not in focus. The car is then slowed to a halt, the report said.

so lets say you are driving on the highway 65 miles/hour and the car comes to a halt ........... thats just too great because the car behind me will hit my rearend at 65 miles/hour ............great ..............

Matt and Kala make good points. The only thing thats gonna stop people from drinking and driving is a little self control, which people obviously don't have

Just make it standard equipment on the Prius. I'm pretty sure you have to be drunk or on drugs to buy that thing.

Re: Toyota creating alcohol detecting car

I don't see much of a point to this, I guess it could benifit if it really caught on, but i really doubt that will ever happen. There are too many ways to cheat it, and to me it seems rather pointless..

BTW, who deleted 3 of my posts and brought back under 1000? :mad:
