These findings led me to start thinking about a system to give boomers more years of safe mobility, not necessarily as the driver, rather the passenger without burdening others. Using a system in place such as Uber, yet enhanced, where the hired driver can collect biometric data and accommodate for health issues. As the autonomous taxi advances, this data can evolve from driver to the computer system of the autonomous vehicle itself.
“A tool to enhance safe mobility… enhancing independence – autonomy, physical and mental well-being. Using biometrics to account for passengers emotional and biological states, to the effects of seating, lighting, entering and exiting the vehicle, giving the ability of the vehicle to sense the boomer’s mood, and behaviors.”
