Smart headlights, emergency response systems and reversemonitoring features rank highest in car technologies that enhancethe abilities and promote safe driving for older motorists,according to a new study by The Hartford and MIT AgeLab.

Jodi Olshevski, gerontologist at The Hartford, said:”While olderdrivers as a group are relatively safe, these technologies can helpto enhance their abilities and promote safe driving for alifetime.”
