Nissan is introducing a vehicle that showcases its soon-to-be-released anti-drunk driving technology. The car’s "multiple preventative features" were designed to curb drunk driving by detecting the driver's state of sobriety.
So how does it know you’ve had too much booze?
Well, how about odor sensors built into the locking shift knob? Or seat-mounted sensors that can activate a voice and navigation screen warning? Or what about a facial monitoring system that determines your "state of consciousness through your eyes."
Whoa.

Have no fear, I'm sure Ted Kennedy will introduce preventive legislation.
Apparently it'll monitor your breath of course, and it'll analyze the amount of sweat on your hands and check your eye alertness w/scanners of some sort.
