It could save you or your family's life one day. Toyota is in development of a fail-safe system that will be able to detect if a driver is too drunk to drive. From sweat sensors in the steering wheel that detect abnormal amounts of alcohol in the blood to sensors that detect abnormal steering and even a built-in camera that tells if a driver's pupils are not focusing. If a driver has had excessive alcohol consumption, the vehicle will automatically shut down and will not allow the driver to start the vehicle. Seems the people at Toyota have found a way to take safety in a whole new direction.
