A tiny fuel cell that detects the alcoholic breath
of a drink-driver and calls the police has been developed by a team of engineers
at Texas Christian University. A pump draws air in from the passenger cabin, a
platinum catalyst converts any alcohol to acetic acid, which then produces a
current proportional to the concentration of alcohol in the air. A chip analyses
the data, and if it is too high, turns on a wireless transmitter that calls the
police.
I'm in favor of it if they can overcome attempted
bypass of the unit. Unless it cryptographically allows the car to operate only
when functional, someone will figure out how to defeat it.
