Smart headlights, emergency response systems and reverse monitoring features rank highest in car technologies that enhance the abilities and promote safe driving for older motorists, according to a new study by The Hartford and MIT AgeLab.
Using more than a decade of research on older driver safety, The Hartford and MIT AgeLab worked with a panel of experts in driving, aging and technology to examine 25 new technologies designed to benefit mature drivers, who are more likely than other age groups to purchase the types of vehicles that contain modern technology.
Jodi Olshevski, gerontologist at The Hartford, said:”While older drivers as a group are relatively safe, these technologies can help to enhance their abilities and promote safe driving for a lifetime.”
