  1. Sheep, you are losing all freedom and they are controlling everything you do while you cheer them onπŸ₯΄πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ STOP SAYING β€˜LAND OF THE FREE’ NOW!

  2. Let's connect more crap to our cars to give them another excuse to not work and brake

  3. It's going to cost a lot more when the automakers start getting sued. Rember air bags? Not to mention distracted driving is twice as deadly as drunk drviving. There out klling the drunks 2 to 1.

  4. People riding in mask lol

  5. all they can really do is put breathylizers into cars otherwise idk how else they can do it

  6. Clicking this video I thought πŸ’­ technology to help people be better drivers while being drunk πŸ˜‚

  7. This is stupid on so many levels. It's not going to happen, I don't care what the law says, this won't work. Even if they did the "delete kit" would be available the next day. I don't condone drunk driving but I would remove it on principle alone. My vehicle will not babysit me, and no laws can require it.

  8. I never made the choice we’re I drove drunk I walked home or called sumbody pick me up not driving wat so ever

  9. what if your passenger is drunk? what if the device gives a false positive in general? seems like you could get screwed by this.

  10. Progression is only good if it’s in the right direction. You people are absolutely ruining this country.

  11. I look forward to the day our drunk-radar cars act like smartphones "ur drunk as f***…might i suggest therapy?"

  12. So sad and so sorry for your family.

  13. "Our generation's seat belt" WELL SAID!

  14. If you’re not responsible enough to not drink and drive then you shouldn’t be driving at all. Just enabling people to test it and there will be.

  15. Question what if ur the sober driver of say four drunk passengers 1 in front and 3 in back singing and hollering party it up. U gonna tell me with closed windows sensors won't pick up four drunk passengers. How about locking them up instead of letting them out same nite most times

  16. this is not going to stop people, just duct tape over the sensor.

  17. Just another function that can go wrong … I smell money making

  18. So now when you see some one wearing a mask in the car, they've actually been drinking!

  19. Good idea, but it's just going to open up a whole new can of worms for the creator of the technology, if or when it fails to detect a drunk driver and causes an accident, it will create a huge lawsuit for the creator of the technology and the manufacturer of the vehicle.

  20. Puts a mask on. Drives away.

  21. Just buy older car problem solve without this device lol

  22. I just breathalyze myself. I get made fun of but at least I'm safe lol. Idk why everyone's also risking it

  23. So everyone has to pay the price for people who will probably drive under the influence anyways

  24. How can that be a privacy disaster? The sensors just disable the car if it detects a drunk driver. Sometimes, these privacy advocates are just dumb and way out of line.

  25. Screw there privacy, drunk idiots shouldn't be out driving.

  26. What if I have to drive in an emergency after drinking a can of beer?

  27. Those interlock systems cause major computer damage in cars. I have never seen someone that has it otherwise. They harm the car. Fact.

  28. About F time ! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

  29. Sounds like the best idea they have ever had im sick of drunk drivers

  30. As a pro right to repair diy mechanic this is scary what happens when you spray window cleaner on those sensors ? N 200 in manufacturing cost adds how much to the sticker price? Does this affect my insurance?

  31. πŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™

  32. Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't you be aloud to drink and drive on your own property? For instance if you own 1000 acres in the middle of nowhere.

  33. This is to track you, and remotely shut your vehicle off… Disguised as Drunk Driving Prevention.

    These sensors are just a prelude of what is to come, and what has already been written into legislation.

  34. Oh cost just $200 for installing sensors. However, to turn off flashing sensor light, cost $2000. Yeah, just don't drink and drive.

  35. What a waste of time and money. How would a driver take home a car full of drunks? Also nobody want to pay for a mandatory premium option if they don't drink alcohol. Would people get arrested for tampering with the alcohol detector , maybe by accident. The only way this technology would be adopted is if it was installed in a new type of solo passenger vehicle that flies or hovers. Dont want drunk drivers in flying cars.

  36. Well hail, all they go to DOOO is by a 😢g Tesla πŸ€ͺπŸ–πŸ’¨πŸ‘οΈπŸ¦–πŸ–πŸ™„πŸ—½

  37. sometimes on television commercail of getting a brand new cars entire decades sometimes by tanks gets to crash also by cars in the past

  38. sometimes drivers are not perfect on drug by the time of 2026 might die we will see if they turn to normal to Joe Biden can do
