Engineering for Older Drivers

Did you know Trivia - In the western world and Japan, the population is aging, meaning among other things that the drivers are getting older. One problem-a lot of the engineers designing new cars are not "older" and they have no practical frame of reference what it is like trying to drive then. Enter the aging suit, a device developed by Nissan that they make young engineers put on that simulates everything from arthritis to cataracts to a more..ample....middle, so that they can have some idea on the real world implications of their designs.
