The U.S. House of Representatives passed unprecedented drunk driving prevention technology provisions on July 1. The HALT Act provisions in the INVEST in America Act call for a technology-neutral rulemaking by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that could involve a variety of drunk driving prevention systems in all new cars.
Experts say that requiring the technology as standard safety equipment on all new cars will save 9,400 lives a year.
