Of course, when police use this to try to locate a dead body and are led to the trunk of your car where you have this thing stored, it'll probably be just a teensy bit of hassle]]>Feb 24th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/

I'm sure alot of people here will disagree with me but the government should be responsible for mandating all cars have this technology by some date (say 2030).

Drunk Driving has ruined more likes than it should have been able to in America.]]>Feb 24th 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/Feb 24th 2008 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/
Second I am fortunate in that I've never lost a relative to drunk driving.

I just feel bad for people who have and believe the government can reduce and possibly stop this with the aid of technology.]]>Feb 24th 2008 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/
(301,000,000 * .25)

Let's assume that these people drive once to work, and once back in a day, and that's it.

(301,000,000 * .25) * 2

Now let's take your failure rate of 0.001 (99.9% success)

(301,000,000 * .25) * 2 * 0.001

That leaves 150,500 instances where a car refuses to turn on because it claims the sober driver is drunk.

For 150 instances a day (of the underestimate of 25% of pop. driving) it will take three or more tests to start the car, assuming the software doesn't lock you out for, say, twelve hours.

99.99999% would still leave 15 malfunctions in cars a day.

What if you pop the clutch and your car stalls in traffic? Should you have to convince your own car you're not drunk? What if you've had two drinks, got out of the bar, and your father falls to the ground suffering from a heart attack? The hospital isn't far away, your car is right there, yet you can't drive it and save his life because you had two beers. ]]>Feb 24th 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/Feb 24th 2008 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/Feb 24th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/

No, they can't. You're wrong. With the aide of technology, we can also install mandatory breathalysers in on front doors in homes to prevent public drunkenness. We can have government-mandated robots perform cavity searches before you leave your house to make sure you aren't carrying drugs. Hell, let's have technology kill all embryos that might carry genes for disabilities? (Oh wait, that's already about to happen over in the UK).

Technology meant to invade people's lives "for the good of society" instead of genuinely aide people's lives is ridiculous. I wish people would back off and worry about their own lives.]]>Feb 24th 2008 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/why not just educate people not to steal cars instead of putting locks on them?
Suppose while walking down the street, one of your friend's has to go to the doctor- but you don't have time for an ambulance to arrive? Surely it would be okay to use a car to get the person to the doctor. In the same way it would be okay to put someone else's life in jeopardy so you can perform a favor?

I won't say don't use this on HOV offender by any means though, just that you're right and that they should adopt this to border patrol, but probably won't for years to come. If ever, seeing as how our elected political heroes, 'pres candidates', want to give all illegal aliens licenses and what-not.]]>Feb 24th 2008 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/new-camera-tech-can-detect-blood-and-water-content-in-your-car/
The drivers license issue isn't quite as simple as it's made out to be. If an illegal alien doesn't have a license, they can't have insurance. Would you rethink the issue if you were rear-ended by an uninsured illegal? Granted, many illegals won't get insurance, but if even 10% do it will save people hundreds of thousands, probably even millions of dollars a year on car repair bills that they should not have to pay for.

There are also extremely strong national security arguments for giving drivers licenses illegal aliens.

A human trait (also found in other primates) is an extreme sensitivity to 'being cheated'. This is what causes us to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to stop 100 violators a day -- something which doesn't actually change traffic patterns.

A much more effective approach is simple to make the penalty for being caught very high. Call it what it is, "Fraud" or "Tax Evasion". Prosecute it as such with all the inherent penalties, and you only need to catch two or three in a year to have a much bigger impact.
