Perhaps the most difficult thing for a senior to do is give up the car keys. Eventually nearly everyone has to, but driving is a major key to living independently and person's sense of well-being.
Consumer side technology is being developed to help improve safety issues with seniors. GM is developing a car windshield that uses infrared sensors, cameras, and lasers to enhance sharpness of items on the road. The idea is to make lane marks or objects in the path of the vehicle more distinct. See this article General Motors designs windshield that enhances objects to help seniors for more details on the development.
This is a example of a home (car) safety product targeted specifically at older adults.
