  • What are the principle safety issues surrounding older driver safety,
  • What is the potential of new technology to enable extended safety and mobility; and,
  • What is my perception of any mobility problems on the horizon as the boomers begin to turn 65 in 2011.

    • The interview (click here to read) is a good read. Observing, researching and working with government and business on older adult mobility for nearly 20 years I am convinced that action, urgency and creativity by individuals, governments and business MUST be applied today if we are to even marginally meet the mobility demands of aging boomers tomorrow.
