[Ggcs-presentations] GM speaker for Sept...how tech?

[B. Bloch]

Maybe we could mention that newer cars are more and more like computers and have all these tech "additions" and "features" for safety that might be diverting to the older driver. Then, could we ask the speaker to touch on those issues...such as having to glance at the dashboard screen for map direction and that you can plug in your smart phone and get them by voice thru your radio in the care, which might be safer. We have a friend with a new Prius, and he is frustrated by the fact that the screen is a touch screen that he has to look at, with no knobs that he could reach for without taking eyes off the road.

OFFICER ANDY BARCLAY, the Community Outreach Person for the California Highway Patrol of Marin, will give recommendations for how to tune-up our driving skills during the September 23 General Meeting. You’ll not only learn to compensate for age-related changes, but refresh your knowledge of road rules and pick up safe driving tips—and more.

Thanks,

Hi all,
 
Got a brief blurb for the Sept. GM page 1, but how does it relate to tech?
 
Best,
Chris
