Boomers (50+) Buy Cars
Today’s new vehicle buyer is just under 52 years old reports Tom Libby at IHS Automotive.
The largest car buying segment is 55 to 64 years old reported Michael Sivak at the University of Michigan. “Marketing Implications of the Changing Age Composition of Vehicle Buyers in the U.S.” Drivers between 65 and 74 had nearly as high of a probability of buying a new car as do Boomers.

The SteerClear Wheel will not add to the price of a vehicle considerably because it uses equipment already on the vehicle and does not require expensive components such as automotive grade displays.
Fingers Can Feel-Think
Research from Umeå University in Sweden shows that nerve endings in the fingertips perform neural computations that were thought to occur in the brain. Fingertips are among the most sensitive parts of the body. Fingertips are densely packed with thousands of nerve endings and able to interpret vibrations. In fact blind and visually impaired people can use vibrations from smartphone apps for navigation.
