<p>A reporter has his soberness and drowsiness detected by a mounted camera, seen bottom, as part of Nissan Motor Co.'s newly-unveiled alcohol detection system which features facial monitoring and alcohol sensors equipped on a concept car, during a press tour at Nissan's Oppama plant in Kanagawa prefecture, south of Tokyo, Monday, Aug. 6, 2007.  Nissan showed the experimental system that measures alcohol levels in the driver's sweat from hand touching the gearshift.  It stops short of locking the ignition but issues a warning in an electronic voice.(AP Photo/Shuji Kajiyama)</p>
