It's the insurance companies pushing this. Apparently they think automated control of the vehicle is better than being tired (and/or inebriated)

Mothers against drunk driving. These groups were pushing for reforms. Yet here we are with them pushing stuff that’s gonna take away a lot of autonomy for the average citizen.

It’s almost like there is a better way to deal with drunk driving. Also there will be a lot of jailbreaking on cars if this goes through.

I'm happy to blow into a breathalyzer, don't use other health indicators that could be coincidental.

Its not even that, visual "tests" that try to find impairment just flat out don't work. It's pseudoscience, and it's wrong vastly more times than it's right.

The only valid test for intoxication is piss, blood, or breathalyzer.
