    The issue is that you still need the ability to override any automated system. So even a drunk person could cancel the alarm or restriction going off because they think they’re right and the computer is wrong. Not saying safety systems shouldn’t be improved like this because it was undoubtedly save some lives. There is no perfect situation when humans are involved.

      So true. I’d think that’s about the standard we’re used to with passenger cars, safety systems mandatory to be installed, and usage enforced by policing. I hope that the majority of people causing these wrecks are drunk and disoriented, not malicious, and that just giving them a convenient option to get home would eliminate 90%+
