I don't really drink, so I'm not worried about that.
This isn't a "conservative" issue - it's appearing in all the news, including Motortrend.

My reading of the bill doesn't jive with what the Motortrend article describes. Motortrend 11/11/21 "Congress is pushing for the monitoring systems to begin rolling out in new vehicles no later than 2026."
The Bill is seems is describing how drunk driving reduction technology is a platform that must be in passenger vehicles, however until such technology is investigated as being possible there is no date set as to when they should be placed into production. The bill actually makes allowance for how to proceed if regulators aren't satisfied with the research. The Bill describes how to proceed if the technology is not satisfactory for production in as long as ten-years from now.
Quote from the legislation SEC. 24220
"(3) if the Federal motor vehicle safety standard required by
subsection (c) has not been finalized by the date that is 10 years
after the date of enactment of this Act, shall submit to the
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate
and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of
Representative a report describing--
(A) the reasons why the Federal motor vehicle safety
standard has not been finalized;
(B) the barriers to finalizing the Federal motor vehicle
safety standard; and
(C) recommendations to Congress to facilitate the Federal
motor vehicle safety standard."
