Motivation
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevent (CDC), there were 112 million DUI incidents in the United States in 2010. Drunk driving caused nearly 11,000 deaths in 2009, and continues to be a serious issue today. There is a need for a simple, inexpensive device that prevents alcohol-impaired people from getting behind the wheel. With BBackSafe, not only does the car become disabled, a text message will be sent to the driver's emergency contact, ensuring that a drunk individual does not try to sneak off and drive while intoxicated. With BBackSafe, DUI accidents will become a thing of the past.
