Drunk Driving in my new Toyota

Cars fitted with the detection system will not start if sweat sensors in the steering wheel detect high levels of alcohol in the driver'* bloodstream, according to a report carried by the mass-circulation daily Asahi Shimbun.
The system could also kick in if the sensors detect abnormal steering, or if a special camera shows that the driver'* pupils are not in focus. The car is then slowed to a halt, the report said.
