Patent Images
1. A drunk driving prevention system for a vehicle, comprising:
- an eye symptom detector adapted for supporting in said vehicle at a position to detect eye symptoms of a driver;
a control module operatively linked to said eye symptom detector for determining and analyzing whether said eye symptoms of said driver match with alcohol influenced eye symptoms; and
a signal module operatively linked control module for generating a drunk driving signal in response to said eye symptoms of said driver that suspects an alcohol concentration of said driver is above a predetermined threshold.
