The government is not moving ahead with making alcohol interlock installation facilitation (AIIF) technology mandatory in cars at this time. Multiple reports say the decision is part of a wider package of road-safety measures that instead focuses on other vehicle safety requirements. The outlets report that, while AIIF is excluded from the mandatory rollout, the government will mandate several alternative safety technologies. One highlighted requirement is the inclusion of speed limiter technology. The overall approach presented in the sources shifts away from breath-testing interlock requirements embedded in vehicles, and toward additional features intended to reduce driving risk and improve compliance with speed limits. The reporting indicates the government has made the ruling as part of its current policy decisions, without detailing a timeline or conditions for reconsidering AIIF at a later date. The coverage is consistent that the key point of divergence from earlier expectations is the non-mandatory status of AIIF, alongside the planned mandate for other safety systems.
