AutoExec Summary
Volvo has developed a system to detect drunk drivers and stop them from driving, using cameras and sensors to monitor the driver’s behavior. If the system detects signs of intoxication, it will send warnings to the driver and intervene to reduce the likelihood of a crash, such as limiting the car’s top speed or calling for assistance. This technology will start rolling out on new Volvos from 2020 and is part of Volvo’s push to limit serious crashes. The company has also developed a Care Key to limit the car’s top speed, and plans to implement the drunk driver system on model year 2021 Volvos.

Brands mentioned: Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes, Hyundai, BMW, Bugatti
