Now here’s a sneaky one, and it sounds like a very bright idea a company in Akron, Ohio, FuelProof Systems Inc has come out with a computerised vehicle control unit that enables the holder of the key to determine the hours at which a car can be driven, and two judges in the Cuyahoga Falls Municipal Courts have agreed procedures with the company for the court to order installation, when warranted, of the control system for first and second time driving under the influence of drink and blood alcohol content offenders: the FuelProof system can both restrict driving privileges and act as an anti-theft device, having a patented time lock that can be programmed to prevent the car from being started for any time period, so that a court could order it to be set so that the car can be driven only at the owner’s normal hours for driving to and from work, and not at night or at weekends, while a car owner that parked on the street could time-lock the car for nighttime hours… employers could fit such a device to the computers of workaholics.
