I tried having the Uber discussion with my grandmother. We tried to tell her that its all the same mobility that you're used to. We tried explaining that this isn't some patronizing service for seniors but in fact something everyone is doing. We tried explaining how its actually more economical then owning a car. We tried to explain that letting my Grandfather stay on the road is a terrible idea that will get them and/or someone else killed. My aunt even got her an ipad and showed her how to use the damn thing. FFS you press the button and a car comes. The concepts not hard and she's not that senile.
But what do we get in response for all our efforts? "I just don't want to."
Even in the face of viable technical solutions to the problem of old people on the road, you still have to solve the unsolvable issue that old people are insanely stubborn.
