Seniors and Driving : Finding Solutions

As our population ages, driving can become more difficult for older people. But car manufacturers are making sure automobiles evolve to make driving easier and safer for seniors.While it may seem as though automakers are only trying to build fast and sexy vehicles for young customers, many manufacturers are also working hard to develop personal transportation for our aging population. For instance, door openings are being made larger so seniors can easily slide into and out of their seats. And enhanced lighting and color schemes are being implemented to make things easier on the eyes.Added features like vehicle stability enhancement systems, anti-lock brakes and navigation systems are also making driving safer for seniors. And many of these features also appeal to younger drivers, allowing for well-designed vehicle for all ages.A video report from General Motors (NYSE: GM) You can reach the story directly by going to http://www.newstream.com/home.aspx?Story=30175 Visit http://www.newstream.com to download video, audio, text, graphics and photos.
