Comments on: Seniors Driving Longer, Crashing Less http://www.carseekblog.com/2010/06/23/seniors-driving-longer-crashing-less/ because there's more to cars than merely driving Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:49:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steven Aldrich http://www.carseekblog.com/2010/06/23/seniors-driving-longer-crashing-less/comment-page-1/#comment-532 Steven Aldrich Wed, 30 Jun 2010 14:46:04 +0000 http://www.carseekblog.com/?p=270#comment-532 As CEO of Posit Science I agree that it is great news that older drivers are less likely to die in an auto crash now than over ten years ago. But the report also stated that older drivers are putting restrictions on their driving and there was no statistically significant drop in the number of total crashes among older drivers. We can improve quality of life even more by advancing the dual goal of keeping older drivers on the road while reducing the number of accidents. Recent studies have shown that brain speed and accuracy can be improved through specifically designed computer brain fitness programs, resulting in significantly safer driving. As an example, a study of Posit’s UFOV technology showed that at-fault crash risk was reduced in half over five years after training. That technology has been built into DriveSharp, a software program that trains the brain to think quicker and react faster to help people be safer behind the wheel.
