Automobiles For Our Grandparents

Senior-Friendly Cars

Our grandparents usually stay at home and grandchildren will take care of them because they can no longer perform their daily activities for they have no enough energy to do their duties and they are weak. Some families send them to a home for the aged institution where they are nursed, feed, and given tender care. If our grandparents want to visit his or her relatives then, grandchildren will offer to drive them to a specific destination and that is the usual thing that happens but, amazingly, now a days, there is one company who will develop cars that help seniors drive safely, a professor from Nintendos'Prof. Ryuta Kawashima, who helped develop Nintendo's "Brain Age" games, is teaming with Toyota to develop cars that help seniors drive safely. He envision future cars will be able to monitor brain and emotional activity to back up elderly drivers. Kawashima, a Tohoku University scientist who worked on Nintendo Co.'s best-selling "Brain Age" games and whose smiling image is the guide in the series. Among technologies on the table is a that can determine a driver's driving patterns and curb any dangerous activity, It could, for example, slow the car if it senses the driver is hitting the gas pedal for no reason. Future developments could involve a navigation system and temperature controls that help drivers stay alert. "Ultimately, he hope to develop cars that stimulate brain activity, so that driving itself becomes a form of brain training,".
Kawashima already done with their brainstorming and they are ready to make some of their technologies. He said that technologies will be present after 5 years because you will see changes in Toyota's car improvement.
