Congress passed the transportation funding bill included funds for research alcohol detection technique which may eventually become standard equipment in all cars. According to the new law, may lead this search to replace monitoring tool "Breathe alcohol" handheld technology Sense in steering wheel or gearshift in the car.

says a group representing the restaurant industry to finance, of five million dollars over two years, and to isolate him from spending President, because he "used taxpayer dollars U.S. to finance something that does not want his presence in their cars."

And remember, "Sarah ونغويل" It managing director of Foundation American Beverage: "The spending a lot of taxpayers' money to develop sensing technology alcohol, which can work as equipment standard in all cars represents a misuse of money. "

Since 2008, I started "by the National Traffic Safety on the highways," U.S. automakers and searching technology that can measure the alcohol content in the blood of drivers and prevent the car from starting if the driver was legally drunk. This is known as national research endeavor in the name of "driver alcohol detection system for safety purposes."

see to ونغويل that such technology inside cars mean the end of social consumption of alcohol in the United States. She adds: "the source of our complaints is that President existing systems inside the vehicle will not adjust the rate of 0.08 percent," a level of alcohol in the blood, which is where the driver against the law in all fifty states. She adds: "We must be placed at a lower level, because after eating five doses of alcohol will not reach the level of alcohol in the blood 0.08 immediately, but will increase and exceed the threshold legal while driving. Nor can the car to stop in mid-flight. Therefore, for reasons of legal and liability , must be kept level less than 0.08. believe that it would be between 0.02 and 0.03. "

but a spokesman for alcohol detection system driver for safety purposes, "Lloyd Newton" denied it, and said: "that the rate of 0.08 is the limit legal. a level that will be placed upon these devices. "

said Newton, the researchers "looking at the possibility of a" technique could park the car or do something else if increased level alcohol blood driver over the legal limit during the movement of the car, adding: "We are still looking at how check the status of the driver begins to exceed the legal limit as soon as you start the car in motion, and what should be done also with the car. "

researchers tested driver alcohol detection system for safety purposes several ways, such as:

1. Use "tissue spectrometry" to measure the level of alcohol in the blood of the driver. And read sensors alcohol levels in the blood, through the fingers of the driver in places, such as the steering wheel, and transfer speed lever.

2. Use "remote spectrometry", which is based on breathing where she works several sensors in the cockpit of the car to assess the concentration of alcohol in the breath of the driver's breath.

researchers expect to own "test car drivable" in about two years. Says ونغويل of the American Beverage Corporation that the new technique Stacher end the ability of the U.S. to "drinking beer during sports matches or a glass of wine with dinner." And defy her organization also accurate detectors of alcohol in motor vehicles. On the other hand, said the organization "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" that research funds have been spent well, and said, "LG Griffith," a vice president of the organization for public policy "cost drunk driving United States $ 132 billion a year, and we believe that the amount of five million dollars is a good use of transportation dollars to eliminate the problem.
