A kill-switch breathalyzer was a piece of vehicular technology in 2015.
History[]
According to the Newsline column on the front page of the October 22, 2015 issue of USA Today, the organization Mothers Against Drunk Flying (MADF) had hired a new lobbyist named Katie Pearson, who was to lead a campaign to install kill-switch breathalyzers in flying cars.[1]
Judging by the name, it can be safely assumed that a kill-switch breathalyzer was a combination futuristic safety mechanism and anti-drunk flying device, which could automatically shut down the engine, flying circuits etc. of a flying car if it detected the pilot was under the influence of alcohol โ therefore preventing the dangerous act of drunk flying.
