As safety technology continues to infiltrate the automotive industry, drivers are taking new features into consideration when shopping for a new car.
A recent survey by Hartford Financial Services Group and the AgeLab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology examines the vehicle technology preferences of drivers aged 50 and up.
The survey, called "Looking Forward: Vehicle Technology Preferences Among Mature Drivers," reveals that 76 percent of drivers age 50 and older who plan to buy a new car will seek out high-tech safety features. In comparison, only 32 percent of drivers age 50-plus who bought a car in the past year sought out these vehicle technologies.
