Adorable, Mildly Confused Seniors Love This Self-Driving Car

The benefits of self-driving cars extend well beyond letting people safely text, nap, or whatever behind the wheel. The technology could provide mobility to everyone who can't drive a conventional car, including the nation's expanding ranks of elderly drivers. Some 36 million "older drivers" still hold a valid drivers license, according to AARP, which didn't define "older." Only 20 percent of them live in cities that offer public transit, and nearly all of those people say they plan to stay where they are. Giving up driving presents a potentially serious setback for their ability to live independently. Self-driving cars could ensure a measure of autonomy.
