A New York entrepreneur has created a new ignition lock that boasts real-time communication with police and emergency services and the breathalyzer device.

The device is capable of providing real-time information to authorities, including the capability of sending failed results to police in order to stop particular drivers from harming other people, a camera to ensure that another person is not blowing into the breathalyzer, and can randomly test drivers during their travels.

Interceptor Ignition Interlocks, Inc., was started as an idea John Ruocco had to remedy the tragic consequences of drunk driving he felt in his own life. Beginning in 2000, Ruocco looked at other ignition locks, seeing what worked and what did not. In 2004, he used funding from a previous venture to start up his new ignition lock company and design the device.

The Interceptor is currently only certified in seven states, but, with stricter legislation being passed throughout the U.S. concerning drunk drivers, he is optimistic that his patented real-time design will win out over other systems.
