Steering Wheel Checks Alcohol Consumption

karvind writes "According to washingtonpost, Inventor Dennis Bellehumeur has made a $600 sensor that can be installed in a steering wheel or in gloves and will test a driver's skin to determine alcohol consumption. Bellehumeur, a real estate agent and deli owner in Wilton Manors, spent 12 years developing his sensor after his then-teenage son crashed into a utility pole while driving drunk and suffered minor brain damage. He received a patent this month and the sensor should complete testing this year."

A somewhat good news patent story on slashdot is a nice find. I hope he does well. It must be a terrible thing to have to go through what he went through and I hope he finds success in this and it brings him some comfort in that it may help others.
