Won't it be great if the car prevented a drunk driver from driving.

As part of an ongoing program towards the prevention of drunk driving, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has come out with a new concept car featuring not one but multiple preventative features designed to help reduce drunk driving.


The technology was shown integrated on-board a production model Fuga sedan. This includes a number of sensors on the car and will even result in the immobilization of the vehicle if the car detects a drunk driver.
