alcohol detection systems

In-vehicle technology that senses driver alcohol or impairment to prevent operation: breath and touch-based alcohol sensors, ignition interlock devices, driver alcohol detection systems (DADSS), and passive impairment-sensing hardware. Unlike the camera/behavioral DMS detection tags (gaze, drowsiness, distraction) which infer cognitive/attentional state, this targets chemical alcohol/impairment sensing and interlock prevention; unlike dms_regulation it is the sensing technology itself, not the mandate.
