About the Event
Technology may finally be able to eliminate drunk driving with advanced systems that can be installed in all vehicles to noninvasively measure driver blood-alcohol concentration. In 2011, researchers plan to demonstrate prototype devices in a research vehicle.
At the CTS Winter Luncheon, Susan Ferguson, program manager for a multimillion dollar research program investigating driver alcohol-detection technologies, presented the latest research findings and efforts under way to gauge public reaction to such technology.
