As advanced technology becomes increasingly integrated into modern automobiles, concerns are growing about its impact on driver safety, especially among older adults. While features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and infotainment systems are designed to enhance safety and convenience, they can also introduce complexity and distraction.
