We are very pleased with Nissan’s announcement of its concept car. This announcement coupled with the work of Saab and Volvo, along with that of others in the United States and around the world, demonstrates the real possibility of technology helping to eliminate drunk driving.

Background:

MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving includes the exploration and development of advanced technologies that do not affect or interfere with the sober driver; are absolutely reliable and accurate; are set at .08 BAC for adult drivers not convicted of drunk driving, and the cost should be reasonable. Please visit MADD’s web site to learn more about the Campaign.
