Drunk driving continues to be an issue. So we designed and custom built a 120-pound Breathalyzer and took it to the streets of Toronto. The kiosk was outfitted with a Breathalyzer, disposable straws, and a tablet that powered the Uber app. When an intoxicated person blew into it and it detected alcohol, an Uber driver was automatically pinged and arrived to the location in minutes, ensuring the drinker got a free and safe ride home.
