Breathalyzers routinely get fooled by windshield washer fluid in the air. Sensing ambient alcohol vapor is never going to work reliably.

Colonel Cancer posted:Whatever makes driving harder and more expensive is a step in the right direction I agree, but I have the luxury of never leaving the house if I don't feel like it. For people who have to commute to lovely jobs and haul around their family every day this sucks. It's not like mass transit is suddenly going to become a priority most places. We should just ban private cars & trucks and spend real money on transportation infra that doesn't require every single adult to have their own car to survive, but change is impossible as politicians keep telling us.

Spatial posted:Are typical EVs heavier than equivalent fueled vehicles? Would be pretty bad for roads in the long term since the damage done over time goes up extremely quickly with vehicle weight. Yes. Batteries are heavier than gasoline, and don't get lighter when you use them. (I also don't know if you weigh the car with gas in it when determining its weight)

A full tank in an average car is around 100lbs. A four cylinder engine might weight 400lbs. A tesla battery is about 1000lbs. CRUSTY MINGE has issued a correction as of 15:32 on Feb 23, 2022 |

quote:Currently, some convicted drunken drivers must use breathalyzer devices attached to an ignition interlock, blowing into a tube and disabling the vehicle if their blood alcohol level is too high. The legislation doesn’t specify the technology, only that it must “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.” People would object to a straw in the dash so instead we're going to point 5 cameras at them which will be watching and scrutinizing their every move from the moment they enter the car

Pretty funny conflict materials (that can even be substituted or produced locally) are only an issue with EVs, but no one cares about them in catalytic converters.
