Boomers Impact On Car Design

By Guy Brighton on December 22, 2005

Autoblog looks at the impact aging boomers are having on the auto industry:

already gaining traction are:

Larger handles attached to sturdier

Advanced snow and ice removal systems

Window films to reduce glare

Larger
control knobs

Lane-deviation and blind-spot warning systems

Wider, heated
seats
