    “Those false positives could be somebody trying to get to the hospital for an emergency.”

    Add an emergency button that overrides the lock and also calls the police.

      So along with an alcohol sensor there has to be a cellular connection bc as well? What happens when you’re stuck in a rural area with little/no cell coverage? And who is paying the cost of all this new technology?

      So now the police have to act as mechanics? What if the emergency is not life threatening, but I could lose my job if I don’t get some paperwork to the courthouse in time? Do I still have to get the police involved for an override? Maybe the emergency is I have to get my kids to school. Maybe the emergency is I have an ice cream cake melting in the trunk of my car. At what point is it too trivial to waste the time of emergency services because a sensor went bad?
