Good reading... I think they forgot Lane Keep Assist. It's always a good idea to keep your eyes on the road and consider technologies like this a second set of eyes. And the wheels - my goodness. Nobody knows what a nice ride feels like anymore. The generations that came after us think their new vehicles "ride like butter".

As an "older" driver I found this article insulting. There are LOTS of younger age drivers who can't seem to manage technology.
I will admit that the 19s on the Regal are as big as I would go but the Buick handles them well.
I still look for excuses to go for a drive!
The problem is a lack of real driver training, not just education.
The roads are full of drivers of ALL ages that don't understand what they're doing.

Oh yeah, they could make one of those articles for younger drivers, too. Just maybe leave out the arthritis stuff. 😛
