On October 7, 2020, Driven to Protect participated in a Transportation Technology Webinar hosted by the National Safety Council (NSC). The webinar featured a panel of speakers from various industries who came together to provide an overview of different driver safety support technologies. The discussion focused on how these technologies can help decrease deaths on roadways and support driver safety, and how they can be implemented in both large and small organizations.

On August 27, Driven to Protect hosted an Ask the Experts webinar where attendees were able to learn more about the work the DADSS Program is doing to develop innovative, in-vehicle technology to help eliminate drunk driving and save lives.

The following statement is attributable to Robert Strassburger, President & CEO of ACTS regarding today’s report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) on the potential impact of alcohol-detection systems.

“Today’s study is both a strong endorsement of the potential life-saving impact of the DADSS technologies and an important reminder of the work that still remains in the fight to reduce alcohol-impaired driving fatalities. We draw added encouragement from IIHS’ recognition of the use of DADSS technologies as an intervention that could save thousands of lives. We are committed to completing our work to develop robust technology that can be successfully deployed as widely as possible.
