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

[Marcelino Nogueiro]

Barbara,
Leave as is.
I think this will be well worth it.  Getting advice from CHP on how to deal with today's driving and aging.  There are no set requirements that the subject has to be directly related to technology.  We are providing information that can help our members.
Also, can you please check to make sure we can record the presentation for our YouTube channel.

Barb,
If we can find someone that can talk about all the tech in new cars that would be awesome.  Not sure who would be qualified or even willing to do it but this would be a great topic.  I'm sure some of our members might be in the market for a new car and could benefit from this.

I understand, but our CHP has already a set  two hour speech, which he will be reducing to one hour.
I will urge him to emphasize technical things but I am not optimistic that he can change.
Also the subject of Tech driving is ever growing.

Barb....I meant could we ask the September speaker to include something about Seniors using all these new tech gadgets and features in newer cars and how to learn about them before driving off.
then the topic would be more consistent with GGCS identity, as Chris asked about.

Do  you want to consider that, or should i just ask the Gulds?  I haven't seen anything like it on their web site descriptions of what they're doing in classes and workshops.

Tech for drivers is a great subject?  I know my friend with a Tesla has had a lot to learn.

I have a dash cam for older cars which photographs back and front Continualy and gives warnings.

Babette. See if the Guilds have any thing on these subjects for Oct GM.
Thanks,
Barbara

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.

Age-well, drive smart

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.

Unfortunately we were not all copied on the “blurb” so I have no idea what it says.  I think the spin would be more about helping members understand/tune driving skills in the new era of high tech!



Thanks,

Marcelino

Hi all,



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



Best,

Chris
