Stephen Muchiri, a graduate student from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology came up with the idea ‘Auto Alco-blow’ to address the issue of frequent accidents caused by drunk drivers.
The product has specific features including a sensor that detects a drunk driver’s breathe that has exceeded the alcohol threshold.
In any case, the alcohol level exceeds the threshold, the driver is given a 5 minutes warning to park the car or the engine of the car is cut short and a message sent to the affiliate of the driver or the owner of the vehicle. This idea won the 2019 #MyLittleBigThing innovative challenge.
