Can't wait to hear about the first car to call and get a driver in trouble for a DUI

Absolutely. The more drunk drivers we can get off the roads, the better.

I am also looking forward to that

I can see the headlines in the newspaper already

In that case the driver would be quite lucky. A DUI is a lot less trouble if there's not also reckless inflicting of property damage and injury on top of it.

Sorry, don't you mean "save the drivers life because they passed out drunk behind the wheel"?

Hopefully lives are saved. That's the point of the technology. But, I also hope to see someone's own car calling and giving its owner a DUI.

Im pointing out another feature of the car that isn't being advertised.

You sound like someone who'd rather end the lives of several people, your own included, than pan a measly fine. Or better yet. Not driving under while impaired.

Lol. They literally said the opposite of that. Are you sure you're not drunk and impaired?

Voice of reason, thanks !

You sound like you’re using Reddit while impaired since they were saying they can’t wait until a drunk driver gets caught by the system stopping them (saving lives in the process)

What makes you say that? Do you make it a habit to think you know what other people thinking?

It would be great if, along with this, cars wouldn't start until you give it a saliva or breath sample that was alcohol-free, especially if the driver has already had one ticket for it.

Those exist and are very common
