"The HALT Drunk Driving Act was passed in 2021,requiring the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to create a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) that would require vehicles “to be equipped with advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology.” Essentially, this would be a “kill switch” in the cabin that would not allow the car to be operated if you were drunk. Maybe it would monitor your behavior with in-cabin cameras, analyze your eye movements, or detect your blood alcohol content."
