It says the sweat sensor detects alcohol levels in the bloodstream. Unless you're drinking in the gym, I dont think that would be a problem.
Just like daylight driving lights, I dont like it. Too many electronic/computer systems in a car is bad. Its bound to screw up sometime. I hope this just stays in the development stage and never gets approved.

Sailors used to drink aftershave on the ships because they were not allowed to possess alcohol... yet they needed a fix from time to time.

I have a lot of problems with some of the “advancements” being pushed on the car buying public today; some in the name of safety and some, simply for marketing purposes. I love technology but I like being able to turn my technology off and get away from now and then…whether it’s automatic headlights, my blackberry, my laptop, my XM radio or OnStar.
Technology can be very good but I’m getting very tired of car companies deciding for me that I’m too stupid to start my car without putting the trans in neutral, whether I can change lanes without signaling, when I should speed up/slow down and knowing exactly where I am at any given moment!
I’ve said it in other threads, if the government or the industry really want to do something about safety then how about spending some real money on REAL driver training instead of just teaching people how to park! The only emergency maneuver most drivers know today is to close their eyes and push on the brake as hard as possible and hope for the best.
Anybody who drinks and drives should pay a VERY big price for their stupidity but I’m not sure I’m ready for my car to make that decision for me.

Hell has frozen over and I agree with Robert!
J/K! Seriously, I agree.
Additionally, I think this is indeed a marketing strategy to get the goody-two-shoes, snooty crowd that are buying cars to think Toyota actually cares for each and every one of them personally, and doesn't want their friends who borrow their cars to wreck it because they drove while impared. Because, heaven knows that someone intelligent enough to buy a Toyota - the best car ever to exists - would certainly be too intelligent to try to drive after even the tinyest drink.

Chief, take us to DEFCON IV and notify the fire department that water will begin to be in short supply...

I can totally understand the need for new technology, but this seems out there..Toyota is going too far with gimmicks.
