I’m not sure where I come down on these alcohol detectors, but the fact that they might fail is not a good enough reason, in my mind, to reject the idea. I have brakes on my car, and brakes fail sometimes. Engines fail, too. As I understand this device, it would just power down the car. All you do is pull over, just like you would anytime your engine cuts out. It would sure be a pain, but I don’t think it is any more dangerous than having a flat tire.
This doesn’t mean I approve of the system. I am not sure yet.
