Judging by the name, it can be safely assumed that this was a combination futuristic safety mechanism/anti-drunk flying device, which could automatically shut down the engine, flying circuits etc. of a flying car if the pilot was under the influence of alcohol — thus preventing the dangerous act of drunk flying.
