A Florida man has received a patent for a steering wheel that locks when it senses the driver is drunk.
Dennis Bellehumeur invented the $600 sensor, which tests the driver’s skin to determine the blood alcohol content. It can be installed in a steering wheel or gloves and Bellehumeur hopes to complete testing this year.
A real estate agent and deli owner, Bellehumeur has spent 12 years working on the project after his then-teenage son drove drunk, hit a utility pole and suffered minor brain damage.
