Driving drunk should never happen, especially when a person drinks to excess. With Autoliv Inc.'s in-car, automatic breathalyzer product, lives may be saved.
Not optional
In order to analyze breath, breathalyzer technology generally needs that a motorist breathe into a tube. The breathalyzer works perfectly, according to Autoliv CEO Jan Carlson.
"It should be seamless. You should not notice the car has an alcohol detection device in it," said Carlson as he addressed an audience at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Monte Carlo.
According to Carlson, the Autoliv involuntary breathalyzer will be the industry standard within five years.

"Everyone will be interested in it, particularly if it is affordable," he said. "If you look at the numbers, 30 percent of all fatalities are coming from driving under the influence. When you talk to parents with teenage daughters and sons they would love to have this device in the vehicle."
Focusing on a different target
Autoliv has been focusing on putting together active safety systems after it has been recognized for designs for passive auto safety products such as airbags and seatbelts.
"We are spending significantly more money in active research rather than passive," Carlson said to the Europe congress.
Considering that Autoliv ranks among the top 20 global suppliers - with worldwide sales to car makers of $8.2 billion in 2011 - it seems that Autoliv is poised to take the active auto safety system market by storm.
Penalties still paid
Autoliv was in a scam where the price of seat belts, air bags and steering wheels were being manipulated in the U.S. and other markets between 2006 and 2011. Some of the executives got jail time of two or more years while the business was ordered by the United States Justice Department to pay a $14.5 million fine. Everybody needs to face a fine now and again, and that is the fine the company will face.
Currently, Autoliv operates in 29 natio
