This seems to be in the same category as seatbelts

Can a seatbelt strand you on the side of the road in the middle of the night? Can a seatbelt turn off your car in the winter? Can a seatbelt collect private data from you? Can a seatbelt record everything you do?

Can a seatbelt hug? Can a seatbelt love? Can a seatbelt … feel?

Carefull what you wish. A seatbelt maybe not yet but a seat for sure.

Automatic seatbelts we’re tried. Was a horrible idea. I still have bad memories of those things as a kid.

IIRC it was a cheaper option of supplemental restraint system that the driver didn't control as a phase in period before airbags became the only acceptable SRS.

Seatbelts don't make judgements about my cognitive ability or sample and record health data.

Seatbelts don't stop the car from working.

I suppose as long as the built in breathalyser merely makes a loud beeping noise the whole time you're driving if your over the limit, this would be fine.
