Will all new cars one day be fitted with anti-drunk devices?

All cars in Australia could soon be fitted with a device that prevents drunk motorists getting behind the wheel and driving.
The bold prediction was made on Tuesday by Victorian Transport Minister Terry Mulder, who declared technological advances would mean the $1000 devices would one day be a permanent feature inside all new Australian vehicles sold.
The prediction, if acted on, could bring the high rate accidents and deaths caused by drunk motorists to zero. Working much like a standard police breath testing unit, interlocks register the amount of alcohol in the driver's blood and prevent the car from starting if a person reaches a certain limit.

Technological advances mean that in the long-term alcohol interlocks are likely to be a standard feature of all new vehicles in Australia,' he said.'But in the meantime, Victoria is leading the way in taking action to reduce the menace caused by drink driving offenders.'
Victorian police Minister Peter Ryan has backed a uniform law for interlocking devices to be fitted into Australian vehicles. 'The user-pays system ensures there's a powerful financial deterrent to drink-driving,' Mr Ryan said.
