OT: Now there is a new prank for the college kids. Go around pouring a little beer on someone's steering wheel and, poof, car won't start.

Personally, I would never waste my beer... but I would waste yours. LOL ;-)

This sounds like it could be dangerous to me. A drunk could always wear gloves and a face mask and roll down the windows. And this sounds dangerous: The system could also kick in if the sensors detect abnormal steering, or if a special camera shows that the driver's pupils are not in focus. The car is then slowed to a halt, the report said. What if an innocent person is trying to get away from someone trying to harm them or the system could possibly pick up sensors from someone on medicine maybe. I don't like the part about the car being slowed to a halt. What if they are on the interstate with the barriers up? How many wrecks could that cause? I don't like drunk drivers, but I don't like this technology either.
