Drive safer at any age using the top vehicle technologies
N
ew technologies are responsible for many of the advances, comforts and conveniences of modern life, from the smartphone to wearable items such as “smart” wristwatches and eyeglasses. That’s no different in the car, where new technology is helping people drive more safely. “As these technologies become more widely available in new cars today, it’s important all drivers learn how they work and how to use them effectively,” says Jodi Olshevski, gerontologist and executive director of The Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence. “This is especially true for mature drivers, as many technologies can enhance the driving experience as we age.”
Top technologies among mature drivers

While cars today may not look much different from previous model years, the latest technology is helping save lives. One in five injury crashes could be prevented or reduced if all passenger vehicles were equipped with specific types of technology, according to a study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
• Back-up cameras warn of objects behind the vehicle to help drivers judge distances and reverse more safely. • Smart headlights adjust the range and intensity of light based on the distance of traffic and to reduce glare and improve night vision.
Drivers ages 50 to 69, according to a new study from The Hartford and the MIT AgeLab, are most willing to adopt the following vehicle technologies: 1) blind-spot warning systems, 2) back-up cameras, 3) smart headlights, 4) collision avoidance systems, and 5) lane departure warnings. A majority of participants indicated they are willing to purchase these five technologies, are likely to use them, and think they are worth having.
• Collision avoidance systems alert the driver when the vehicle Enhancing vehicle safety may be in danger of a collision.
In the past, safety features were geared toward protecting drivers and passengers during a crash. Now, newer vehicle technologies have the potential to prevent a collision altogether. Many are already on the market, including: • Blind-spot warning systems warn drivers of objects in blind spots, especially while changing lanes and parking. AUTOMOTIVE
These technologies can help keep drivers safe and feeling confident behind the wheel. For example, back-up cameras can help drivers with reduced flexibility to see behind the vehicle, and blind-spot warning systems may help drivers with limited range of motion be more comfortable while driving.
The importance of learning about vehicle technology Learning more about how vehicle technologies work is a smart step to keeping drivers safer on the road. Many new cars already include some safety technologies, and all new cars will be required to have back-up cameras by May 2018. Staying current on the latest features available - and using them appropriately - may help all drivers, including mature drivers, stay safe behind the wheel. To learn more, drivers can download a free vehicle technology guidebook and take an interactive video quiz at thehartford.com/cartech.
• Lane departure warnings monitor the vehicle’s position and warn the driver if the vehicle deviates outside the lane. • Parking assistance indicates distance to objects, making parking easier, or may enable vehicles to park on their own. • Adaptive cruise control allows the car to adjust its speed depending on traffic conditions.

High-Tech Upgrades
f you’re driving an older vehicle, that doesn’t mean you have to be left out in the cold when it comes to the high-tech features loaded into newer cars.
With a relatively small investment, and a bit of time, you can give your older vehicle many of the bells and whistles typically reserved for those 2015 models. What better way to make your old car feel new, again?
Get your car connected
One of the biggest upgrades you can make to an older vehicle is to install a media center. If you plan to keep that older car a while longer but still really want some of the cooler features, this is the first place you should start. Car radio systems include tons of features these days, including Bluetooth connections, touch-screen functionality, phone syncing and navigation. There are several different models out there, and they all have their own pros and cons. Two of the biggest platforms on the market are Apple’s CarPlay and Android Auto, which are based on the Apple and Google phone operating systems, respectively. Your best bet
® fotolia
is to go with something that will work best with your cell phone system of choice. Some high-end systems could run between $500 and $1,000, but it still beats the price tag of a brand new car.
Keyless entry and remote start
Conversion kits are available for many older model vehicles to add keyless entry and remote start systems. Prices vary depending on the base model and age of the vehicle, and unless you’re experienced with customizing vehicles, you may want to consider having a professional install the kit. Going beyond that, kits are also available to add power windows and locks.
These features can be extremely convenient for owners, and depending on the model, might not make for an extremely expensive investment.
Move beyond FM and AM
This one is typically very affordable, and very easy. A basic satellite radio conversion kit can be added to virtually any car, providing access to satellite radio service. Of course, this also requires a subscription fee, but if you spend a lot of time driving, it can be well worth the cost to have access to news, sports, music and lifestyle programming while driving.
