For new cars, I guess.

In the EU, it’s similar. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-sa...:

All new vehicles sold from May 2022 must be fitted with advanced safety features, including:

- monitors that detect when a driver has become drowsy or distracted

- emergency stop signal to help prevent rear-end collisions

- rear-view camera or parking sensors

- alcohol interlock system to prevent drunk driving.

These systems will help reduce serious accidents on Europe’s roads.

It seems that the only part that got implemented out of that draft was drowsiness/inattention detection. At least that's what I read from the document in "Commission adoption" section of that page.

> alcohol interlock system to prevent drunk driving.

Wait, what? _All_ new vehicles need to have this? Or do they just need to be constructed such that one can be installed easily?

Looks like EU law, so considering the wording, probably every new car.

Also, see:

https://road-safety.transport.ec.europa.eu/statistics-and-an...

Edit:

The actual text:

> Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council requires motor vehicles of categories M and N to be equipped with certain advanced vehicle systems, including driver drowsiness and attention warning systems. It lays down in its Annex II basic requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to the driver drowsiness and attention warning systems.

The car must be built to allow for the installation of a breathalyser, i.e. some standardised interface. Doesn't really affect you unless you're ordered by a court to use one.
