It makes sense - a self-contained device can be circumvented. A connected solution is much, much harder to fool
Please explain further because I do not believe that.
Someone knowledgeable enough could tamper with the local equipment to get it to give false negatives, or always pass regardless of blood alcohol content. If it doesn't phone home, the company (or the court) doesn't know it's been tampered with.
This is all theoretical, I know nothing about this tech.
If it knows it's been tampered with, it doesn't need to phone home, it can be disabled locally...
