One more reason to not even think of buying a new car.
Yes, I know this has not been implemented yet.
It's just another straw to be added to the already groaning load.
I have enough cars to last the rest of my life, and no computers in any that I will still have two years from now.

I got curious about this matter some months ago.

Asked ChatGPT. At what age should elderly stop driving?

The reply was superb. Went like this:

The recommended age is 75. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that 75 yr old drivers are safer than 20 year old drivers. There is plenty of evidence that elderly drivers know the rules of the road and have ample reflexes.

The reason for recommending 75 is recovery. The old in even a minor wreck are at much greater risk of permanent disability or death than the young. Old bodies heal more slowly or not at all.

My most recent vehicle purchase was a 15 year old low mileage car with limited technology…purposefully for that reason.
