Launches cash prize for anti-drunk driving tech, boosts road safety efforts nationwide
This bill would create a competition with a cash prize of at least $45 million to speed up the development of new technology that stops drunk driving. It would also set up a new federal center to help states and police improve traffic safety and establish a national system to track crashes involving drugs. These changes aim to make roads safer for all drivers and passengers by reducing deaths and injuries from hazardous driving.
Today, alcohol-impaired driving causes over 12,000 deaths annually, and there's an existing law to integrate anti-drunk driving technology into new vehicles. This bill would add a competition with a cash prize of at least $45,000,000 to speed up that technology's development. It would also create a new federal center to help states and law enforcement improve traffic safety and establish a national system to collect data on drug-involved crashes, aiming to reduce fatalities and injuries on the roads.
