This study examines the prevalence and frequency of use of in-vehicle technologies as well as the relationships between technology-use frequency and associated factors among a subset of AAA Longitudinal Research on Aging Drivers (AAA LongROAD) participants.

Previous research using data from the AAA LongROAD study has shown that many older drivers use available in-vehicle technologies infrequently, which may limit their safety and mobility benefits. This study examines the prevalence and frequency of use of in-vehicle technologies among a subset of AAA LongROAD participants as well as the relationships between technology-use frequency and perceived cognitive and physical function, driving-related abilities, self-reported driving behaviors, and other measures.
