Yet another Saab snippet/article from this week's Autoweek (June 23, 2004):

You drink, you don't drive. At least that's the way Saab sees it-and General
Motors' Swedish subsidiary has a way to back up that promise. An
alcohol-testing key fob prototype dubbed Alcokey is being tested in Saab
9-5s in Sweden and could become available as a dealer accessory. If the fob
detects too much alcohol in the driver's breath sample, it will prevent the
car from starting.

Exactly. Just how hard would it be to put a light sensor on the
steering wheel to detect when the moron is reading the map again or
taking sales notes?!
