VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Forget access to healthcare and fears over disappearing pensions, Canada's rapidly aging population is now causing a new concern for car companies.

As the Globe and Mail puts it, the future of the automobile isn't green, it's grey. According to the Canadian Automobile Association, by 2026, one in five drivers in this country will be over 65 and that could mean a big spike in crashes.

Carmakers are already experimenting with some ways to compensate. Night vision and fatigue detection systems are just two of the options being researched. But some doctors fear they could actually backfire by creating more distractions for aging drivers

It's scary to think 1 in 5 drivers will be senior!
I have been trying my best to tell my parent to leave their car at home.
