Abstract:
1. A safety apparatus, comprising: an automobile seat; a seat belt provided on said automobile seat; a plurality of detector/sensor arrangements each having a seat belt sensor connected to said seat belt and a seat occupancy detector provided in said automobile seat and connected to said seat belt sensor; a control unit connected to said seat belt sensor; an automobile ignition system connected to said control unit; a fuel injection system connected to said control unit; an anti-theft device slot connected to said control unit; a magnetic coded slot card adapted to interface with said anti-theft device slot; video camera connected to said control unit and wherein said video camera is adapted to transmit an inactivation signal to said control unit and said control unit is adapted to prevent operation of said automobile ignition system when said video camera detects at least one of drugs and alcohol; wherein said seat occupancy detector is adapted to detect an occupant in said automobile seat and transmit a signal to said seat belt sensor when said automobile seat is occupied; wherein said seat belt sensor is adapted to detect whether said seatbelt is fastened and transmit an inactivation signal to said control unit when said seat belt is not fastened and an activation signal to said control unit when said seat belt is fastened; wherein said control unit is adapted to prevent operation of said automobile ignition system when said seat belt sensor transmits said inactivation signal to said control unit; wherein said control unit is adapted to reduce operation of said fuel injection system when said seat belt sensor transmits said inactivation signal to said control unit after said control unit activates said automobile ignition system; wherein said anti-theft device slot is adapted to transmit an inactivation signal to said control unit when said magnetic coded slot card does not interface with said anti-theft device slot; wherein said control unit is adapted to prevent operation of said automobile ignition system when said anti-theft device slot transmits said inactivation signal to said control unit; an alcohol/drugs doping device connected to said control unit and adapted to transmit an inactivation signal to said control unit when said alcohol/drugs doping device detects at least one of drugs and alcohol; an aroma sensor connected to said control unit and adapted to transmit an inactivation signal to said control unit when said aroma sensor detects an aroma of at least one of drugs and alcohol; an electric gate opener having supporting software connected to said control unit; a worn tire sensor connected to said control unit and adapted to sense wearing of an automobile tire; an LED connected to said control unit; and wherein said control unit is adapted to activate said LED when said worn tire sensor senses wearing of the automobile tire.
