New Volvo will detect if its driver has drunk alcohol and slow down if they have

Volvo is to install technology in its self-driving cars that can detect if the driver is drunk. The Swedish carmaker said that from next year all new vehicles will have cameras and sensors to spot if the motorist is showing signs of being over the limit. Cars will slow down by before ringing the Volvo call centre where a member of the customer service will speak to the driver and take over the car if necessary. The self-driving vehicle may even park the car by itself if the driver is unresponsive. The new safety features are part of the manufacturers pledge to eliminate all passenger deaths.
