Drunk drivers detector
- Stimulating active participation in safeguarding communities
Overview
A concept for a technological solution aimed not only at detecting drunk drivers behind the wheel but, more importantly, at utilizing a mechanism of social activation.
Concept
❋ A steering wheel cover equipped with sensors that detect alcohol in the skin and exhaled breath, which would illuminate the steering wheel red.
❋ Thanks to this light signal, pedestrians spotting a drunk driver could react by calling the police or simply stopping the car (if possible). It’s like a sobriety traffic light, where red means “stop and hand over your keys.”
Main reflection
It’s a perfect blend of technology and social responsibility, proving that sometimes the best deterrent for drunk drivers isn’t a stern warning, but the fear of turning their car into a luminous disco.
The beauty of this solution lies in its simplicity and its ability to transform bystanders from passive observers into active participants in safeguarding their community.
