On Oct. 16, 2024, Know Labs in Seattle announced that it had retained The Stanbridge Group to secure a strategic relationship with an automotive original equipment manufacturer to embed the Know Labs sensor technology in automobile steering wheels. This discovery was made during the early development of the Company’s non-invasive glucose monitoring technology.

In early preliminary tests, the Know Labs sensor demonstrated, in a laboratory setting, that it can non-invasively determine blood alcohol levels and the Company believes, in an automobile steering wheel, could prohibit an impaired individual from driving. A patent for the technology was filed in 2022.

By as early as 2026, all new vehicles sold within the U.S. will need to be equipped with passive alcohol detection systems.
