A range of cutting-edge technologies are being tested and deployed—bringing us closer than ever to stopping impaired driving before it starts. MADD is fully engaged with auto suppliers whose technologies range from breath-based or touch-based alcohol detection systems, in-cabin sensors, and camera-based impairment detection technologies – some of which are currently being tested by major automakers. IT’S GOING TO TAKE ALL OF US This work is powered by an unprecedented coalition of leaders across technology, automotive, public health, and government. MADD led a strong national advocacy push, including more than 200 meetings with lawmakers and direct engagement with federal leaders including champions like Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, Congressmen Mike Lawler and Kevin Kiley, and Senators Ben Ray Luján, Rick Scott and Shelley Moore Capito, to help drive progress toward implementation of the HALT Drunk Driving Law. Hundreds of survivors and families impacted by impaired driving shared their stories to inspire action and keep urgency high. The 45th Anniversary event in Washington, D.C., gathered leading voices from partners and organizations including IIHS, Smart Eye, Seeing Machines, Vodafone Automotive, Mazda, Uber, Waymo, Diageo, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), FIA Foundation, UMASS Chan Medical School, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Flock Safety, the Connecticut Department of Transportation, and Responsibility.org, which served as the Host Sponsor. Leaning into the power of partnerships, MADD and roadway safety and advocacy leader AAA also reaffirmed the goal to reduce impaired driving deaths by 20% in the next five years.
