Here's the story. Due to deteriorating eyesight in her left eye, DW has not driven in almost 3 years. Her stated major reason for this is her inability to determine the precise location of the car in a lane, especially at night. Her vision has been cleared by her opthalmologist and the state as sufficient for operating a car. Our current car is 10 years old with NO driver assistance technology. She really misses her independence.
My question for all of you who have experience with driver assistance technologies: Are any of these technologies sufficiently mature/helpful to enable a person with a slight visual impairment to safely operate a vehicle in a low-speed, low-traffic environment?
I would ask you to refrain from addressing issues about insurance, accident responsibility, etc. These are moot if the technology is not adequate.
