New car tech could stop drunken drivers

Anti-drunk driving technology won't start the car if you're smashed

Do your own search, there are dozen of ways to stop a drunk in a car. For some reason we are not making them mandatory.

Do we have the right to make them mandatory for everyone as very few drunk drivers get caught. I cold see them being used after a conviction but I don't think we're there yet as far as all cars being produced. Also, why not come up with technology that can sense any impairment or distraction, alcohol, drugs, drowsiness, texting, etc., etc? It may take another generation to end this, possibly further development of self driving vehicles, that would certainly do the trick. In the mean time think defense.
