REDEFINING TECHNOLOGY
Technology will help us reach our ultimate goal of eliminating drunk and drugged driving. Since MADD has launched our Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving ® , supporting the development of advanced vehicle technology has been a top priority. MADD is pushing for a federal rulemaking that will lead to a requirement that all vehicles are equipped with advanced drunk driving prevention technology that will prevent someone from driving if they are drunk or impaired. Legislation to achieve this goal was introduced by Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Senators Tom Udall and Rick Scott in 2019, Drunk Driving Prevention & Autonomous Technologies
with commitments to see this legislation pass in the near future. With the knowledge that 94% of traffic crashes are caused by human error, MADD has invested in partnerships with companies involved in autonomous technology, including Waymo, Velodyne Lidar, Cruise and Uber. Technological advances are rapidly changing the traffic safety landscape and will drive us toward a nation of No More Victims ®.
