Safety chip

Hello,

Firstly, I am not a pilot. I am here to ask a question and do a research on an assingement about future technology of air travel/general transportation.

So here is my question:

As suggested by the tittle, is there a safety chip in any aircraft, regardless of type or brand?

Its function?

Before take off, this chip, will analyse every single information of the plane, such as is it structurally sound to fly, is it overloaded or is something technical not working. This chip also will force the pilot to undergo through a few test to see if the pilot is physically fit to fly. The chip, will scan to see if the pilot has any alcohol or drug(s) level in its blood, check signs for fatigue or lethargy that can affect the pilot’s professional duties.

If the chip detects discrepancy in any of the test, no matter how small, it will immobilise the plane and no matter what, the pilot can’t move the plane, not even a centimetre.

So is there any such chip? Yes there are manual checking, but hey, its about future technology. Pardon me.

Do counter me if theres any wrong fact whatsoever.
