Transforming transportation for the world's aging population and people with
  disabilities
From: CES 2017

The earned privilege of driving tethers us only as far as the road, fuel, and
our physical and cognitive abilities can take us. And, we all know what waits
for us on the horizon as we age – losing the freedom to safely operate a
vehicle.

By teaming with the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) Foundation and
Local Motors, IBM Accessibility Research hopes to advance the role technology
can play in transportation by leveraging autonomous vehicles to help the
growing aging population and people with disabilities remain self-sufficient
for as long as possible and regain their independence.
