Uber installs breathalyzer kiosks to curb drunk driving

You Drink, We Drive.

That's the tagline for a new feature Uber is testing in Canada that hails free rides for would-be drunk drivers.

Uber has installed a breathalyzer kiosk on the streets of Toronto in an attempt to "curb drunk driving".

The kiosk is designed to dispense a disposable straw into which users blow for six seconds.

Their alcohol content will then be calculated.

If you're over the driving limit, it will auto-hail a driver to pick you up at that location, for free.

The prototype, called "Uber Safe", was rolled out for a few nights last month.

Company officials say it was a success, but have not yet said how or if it will return.
