Some technologies work and some don't, although I can't think of anything that works and was mandated before it was already in widespread use. In any case, this is much more involved and fuzzy than normal safety technologies. Additionally, see the edit to my previous comment, the state having a remote backdoor into cars is incredibly dangerous.

You original post was doubting that this would save people from drunk drivers. You still haven't explained why you think it wouldn't do that.

Making driving illegal for everybody would certainly save people from drunk drivers too. Do you think that's a good idea?
