When it comes to driving, driving under influence is the main cause of car accidents, and although we cannot solve the problem of drunk driving, we can at least fight it with a device that comes from Takata Corporation and TruTouch Technologies.
Takata Corporation and TruTouch Technologies have developed a new in-car detection device that can tell if driver is too drunk to drive. This device uses infrared technology that scans the driver's finger and checks the alcohol level through the skin of the finger, and in case that driver's alcohol level is over the limit, the car won't start at all, since this button is the part of starting mechanism.

Although this device won't remove drunk drivers from the streets, it will at least stop some of them from driving under the influence. As for the price, Takata and TruTouch estimate that this device will cost about $200, and that it will be affordable to car manufacturers.
