Deciding when an elderly parent should stop driving ranks among family life's most challenging conversations. Now, General Motors is developing technology to transform this emotional decision into a data-driven process. Their innovative "driver retirement score" system monitors everything from reaction times to proper use of turn signals, even tracking how often other drivers honk at the vehicle. This comprehensive approach could revolutionize how families approach driving cessation discussions with aging relatives.
The timing couldn't be more critical. With nearly 52 million licensed drivers over 65 in America—a 77% increase in just two decades—we're facing unprecedented road safety challenges. According to Triple A, seniors now outlive their ability to drive safely for the first time in history, creating a need for "driving retirement planning" similar to financial retirement planning.
But the technology raises fascinating questions about parameters and privacy. Would someone who enjoys driving fast automatically receive a poor score? How might different interpretations of complete stops at stop signs affect results? These considerations highlight the complexity of designing systems that identify genuinely unsafe behaviors while accommodating varied driving styles.
Beyond the elderly driver technology discussion, we explore the completely redesigned 2026 Hyundai Palisade. Priced at $58,030 as tested, it offers tremendous value compared to competitors like the Ford Expedition King Ranch at over $86,000. While the Palisade impresses with modern styling and luxurious features, its 3.5-liter V6 struggles somewhat with the vehicle's 5,000-pound weight. We also cover major racing news with Will Power leaving Penske after 17 years to join Andretti's IndyCar team, while Colton Herta prepares for a potential Formula One future.

Show Introduction & Story of the Week
Speaker 1Welcome to another In Wheel Time podcast , a 30-minute mini version of the In Wheel Time Car Show that airs live every Saturday morning 8 to 11 am .
Speaker 2Central .
Speaker 1Welcome to the award-winning In Wheel Time Car Talk Show . Just ahead , it's In Wheel Time time .
Speaker 3With Niacin .
Speaker 1Including the story of the week . Also , I'll give you my thoughts on driving the completely redesigned 2026 hyundai palisade , and jeff has the motor minute in this segment of the in-wheel time car talk show , howdy , along with mike vanishing in the bathroom . Mars , we need more jeff zika . Chief engineer david ainsley is over here , there he is right , here I'm don arm , glad you could join us today . Thanks , so much . Time now for our story of the week . Okay , of course Mars will come back and go . I don't know what you guys are talking about .
Speaker 3I hope he washes his hands , yeah me too , I know .
Speaker 1Well , I guess we'll find out pretty quick . So our story of the week Wondering if it's time to take the keys away from an elderly parent .
Speaker 3Here we go . What's that boy looking ?
Speaker 1at me . General Motors has developed technology intended to help inform that .
Speaker 3Peeking at elderly parents' mice back Thorny decision .
Speaker 1Gm engineers and product specialists have applied for a patent on a system that helps determine whether older motorists can still drive in a safe and proficient manner . Using both vehicle and driver data , the company can calculate a driver retirement score and notify motorists of their performance . Deciding to retire from driving a vehicle can be difficult , as driving can provide a sense of freedom , the engineers wrote in the application , which the US Patent and Trademark Office published August 28th . While previous methods have offered some specific measures of competence , the engineers said GM's system relies upon a more comprehensive scope of data inputs . Those include monitoring driver reaction times . Squint driver reaction times to what yeah , is my question . Crossing streets ? I don't know ? Yeah , squinting and signs of fatigue . That's from that little camera that you're looking at , yep . It can also detect the frequency with which other motorists honk and determine whether turn signals are used appropriately and whether drivers comply with road signage . Motorists can also incorporate other considerations , such as medical conditions and whether others have filed a complaint about their driving . The system can determine whether driving improves or deteriorates over time . Once a score has been computed , the system can generate a report with recommendations for the driver . It can also notify a designated contact about the score . Gm does not comment on patent filings , according to the spokesperson , and it was unclear whether the company had any firm plans for commercializing the system , but the market for such technology has grown .
Speaker 1There were almost 52 million licensed drivers age 65 and older in the US in 2022 , a 77% increase over the last two decades . Old man Boomers , according to the latest data the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has posted in its 2025 roundup on older drivers Don't point at me . Seniors are now outliving their ability to drive safely for the first time in history , according to motoring organization triple a . Well , don't buy their stuff . And they now must plan for a driving retirement in the same fashion they plan for a financial one . Drivers age 65 and older accounted for 19 percent of traffic fatalities in 2023 , the latest year for which complete NHTSA statistics were available . That's a half point higher than the 25 to 34-year-old demographic Overall . Experts , caution . It is difficult to make apples-to-apples comparisons because of the increased vulnerability among seniors and the differences in types of roads that distant , distinct age groups tend to drive most often .
Speaker 4David has a question .
Speaker 1Where's ?
Speaker 3your headset .
Speaker 4It's got a microphone . It's got a microphone on it .
Speaker 1He's got a question , but how are we going to relay that question ? Smoke signals yes , we can hear you now , David , if you'll speak up .
Speaker 2So if you like to drive fast and you're as old as you are , would it determine that you're driving dangerously because you like to drive fast ?
Speaker 1I think that that is a possibility .
Speaker 2Or do you put it in parameters ? I like to drive between 80 and 100 .
Speaker 3Well then , he's driving his age .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 4It's kind of like playing golf . I am driving my age . Everybody wants to shoot their age . You drive your age I don't have any comments .
Speaker 1The speedometer doesn't go that high there is that I don't know if there are parameters that are built . This is strictly a report card .
Speaker 3And I would imagine . That you plug it into the car and it records all of the stuff that you're doing or not doing correctly dovetails into the hub wallet hub , exactly exactly because one of my um , one of the granddaughters , had one of those on a car .
Speaker 4Their mom got it and put it on there and and the insurance company knew everything that this driver was doing . Well , guess what insurance went ? Up exactly because we now know exactly the idea was here we'll give you credit for being a safe driver , but they don't tell you is that we'll also raise your bill if you're not a safe driver well , what are the parameters of being safe ?
Speaker 3what are their parameters versus that driver's parameters of being safe ? Okay , I stopped at a stop sign and then or they , it or whatever , the insurance companies probably look at it as a Detroit stop or a roll-through , or you know .
Speaker 1A Detroit stop . Have you ever heard that ? No , have you ever heard that ?
Speaker 3That's when you roll a stop sign , yeah . If you cover the stop sign and just slow down and they take it that's called a Detroit stop . I never knew that . Yeah , well .
Speaker 4Where I come from , that's called $150 . But the thing I have about all this stuff is I know that some of the newer cars that we've driven , like you said , it kind of looks at your eyes and all that stuff . Yeah , Depends on your driving position . Sometimes you're blocking it and it don't like it .
Speaker 1Well , because if it's blocking it , that means your hands aren't in the correct position on the steering wheel . Right , there you go . But I've driven with you before . Never again , what yeah ?
Speaker 4No , he's looking at you . He raises his own insurance . No .
Speaker 1I'm looking at you by looking through him .
Speaker 3That's what that is . No , I never catch me speeding .
Speaker 4Me either , not in several years anyway .
Speaker 1Well , this morning , on the dash back to the house , I was , uh , speeding just a touch , I have to admit that , so insane I just go with the flow of traffic .
Speaker 4How ?
Speaker 1about some recalls , shall we ? Let's do it okay . Rear view camera image may not display in the Dodge Journey and the Ram ProMaster 2019 through 2021, . According to NHTSA , hyundai , santa Fe and Tucson , loss of drive power from loose engine bolts . Uh-oh God , loss of drive power from loose engine bolts in the Kia K4 and Sorento 2025 model year , and you know it wouldn't be right unless we had lots of recalls . Would you like to name the manufacturer ? Jeffrey it's a four-letter word .
Speaker 1Yeah , it starts with an F . Rear brake hose may rupture Ford Edge , lincoln MKX 2015-2018 . Inoperative trailer taillights Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator 2025 . Airbag may tear Ford Ranger 24 to 26 . Instrument panel display failure Ford F-150
GM's Driver Retirement Technology
Speaker 1, 250 , 350 , 450 , 550 , 650 . Wow 25 to 26 model year .
Speaker 4Timeout Timeout Airbag may tear . How are you going to know , after an airbag is deployed , if it was torn or not ?
Speaker 3Well , it doesn't deflate properly or inflate properly .
Speaker 4So , in other words , if you go through the windshield , because the airbag didn't come out .
Speaker 1Would you like to know what that sounds like ? There's no bag , it just goes . I guess Disgusting .
Speaker 3Can you spell it ?
Speaker 1I'm not going Fire risk when refueling . You'll like this Chevy Corvette All models , 23 to 25 , including the 26 convertible and the 26 coupe . They should have just said from the .
Speaker 3C1 to C8 .
Speaker 4What does it do ?
Speaker 1Fire risk when refueling . I don't know . I don't even know where the fuel filler is ?
Speaker 3It's on the driver's side , rear quarter , isn't it ? Left rear ?
Speaker 1quarter . I don't know the engine's back there . My guess is right behind your head .
Speaker 4Maybe that's where you open the fuel filter and you look in there I mean fuel filler cap and you look down the tube . If it says Pinto on it , then you know you've got a problem there .
Speaker 1Oh dear God , that's a stretch .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's a real stretch . It's all I got . Is that all you got ?
Speaker 1Yeah , thank God there's not any beer here at the Hemi hideout . All right Time now for this week's Heming sold car roundup .

Speaker 1Well , as you guys mess around with this , Hold on , it's up there $35,050 . Wow , that is not .
Speaker 4What did I say ? That is not a 454 numbers matching car .
Speaker 1Okay . Well , I don't know why not , but whatever . So next up is the 2001 Ford Mustang convertible with 28,000 miles on it . How much do you think that that would cost ? What year ? Oh my God god what year yeah ?
Speaker 3it's headphones .

Speaker 2I say 10 , $10 .
Speaker 1$22,838.10 . Next up , a 1964 Ford Galaxy . Oh man , 64 Ford Galaxy . Now , this is a four-door sedan . Okay , so it's a mighty big car .

Speaker 4I was thinking 16 . 22 22 . I got 11 from Heisman over here how about $6,250 ?

Speaker 3Well , yeah , for 32 , I could .
Speaker 1God , Next up 1999 Plymouth Prowler . Oh , that's that throwback thing that they made . That was really cool . Yeah , we did . There was another one on there . It was for sale . This one's purple . They're all convertibles . Really cool car . The only problem is that it had a lot of body flex to it because it was a unibody construction . It had a V6 underpowered engine in it . It had those big ugly bumpers on it that you needed to take off if you wanted it to look halfway decent . How much for the 99 Plymouth Prowler $17,000 .
Speaker 4Yeah , that's probably a pretty good price , but I'm going to go $21,000 .
Speaker 2$7,000 .
Speaker 1$7,000 .
Speaker 4It looks like I got an $89,000 , $99,000 from George , but I was distracted . That's a joke , $22,200 .
Speaker 1Yeah , all right . Yeah , I mean I wouldn't buy one . Here's one I would consider buying , but not for the price that it sold for 1962 Ford Ranchero , which is the El Camino equivalent on the Ford side , kind of looked like an old .
Speaker 3Falcon in front . I'll let you go first , David 17 .

Second to the last , here we go a 1976 Ford F-150 that's got kind of a funcatated 70s paint job on it with lots of stripes and stuff , but it looks clean and it looks cool . I would consider it if the undercarriage were okay . 76 Ford F-150 how much , how much .
Speaker 3David $15,000 they're over here doing David $15,000 .
Speaker 1They're over here doing something else .

Speaker 1All right . Well , I don't know what happened there . I don't either .
Speaker 3Mike got them up on his , but they won't pull up on mine .

Speaker 3All righty Well , indy Racing . We're going to get this on the racing portion , but Indy completed last week . You've got Will Power , who ran with Penske for 17 years I think a long time . He's out . His contract was up and they said no more fiddling around .
Speaker 3You're out so far as an Indy driver . But who picked him up ? Andretti ? Andretti picked up Will Power , thank goodness . Will Power is a great guy . I follow him a lot and the reason being so , he's going to go over to Formula One . Well , no , he's going into Indy under Andretti . Colton Hurta has been pulled from Indy and he's going to be in Formula One as the American driver , but Colton has to qualify and get certifications on F1 tracks . So Colton is going to be driving the F2 cars , the F2 series to build up and get going for that licensing . Now you've got two drivers that are already on the Andretti team and I've got them here . You've got Botas and Botas Botas , I think his name is Botas .
Speaker 1Is that Bocefus ?
Speaker 3No , no , no , I've got it here somewhere in my , I'll find it . Anyways , you've got two drivers . They're both European and there's a I'm not a peon .
Speaker 1You're not a peon , you're a peon .
Speaker 3So Cadillac F1 has already announced drivers for the next season Valtteri Botis and Sergio .
Speaker 1Perez , valtteri , valtteri , yeah , how does he go by ? Volley for short .
Speaker 3V-A-L-T-T-E-R-I Valtteri Valtteri Is that his last name or first name ? First name Now , 45 victories , 71 polls , giving Andretti a veteran with pedigree , which is good . Kyle Kirk and Marcus Erickson already drive for Andretti Cadillac F1 and Andretti are both TWG Motorsports teams run by Dan Taurus , whose motorsports operation includes Spire Motorsports and NASCAR . This guy's got more fingers in racing than a proctologist . He's got it all over the place , so it's going more fingers in racing than a proctologist . He's got it all over the place , so he's going to be good Than a proctologist . Anyways , follow it . So you've got Colton going into F1 .
Speaker 4Short fingers , long fingers , and you've got .
Speaker 3Will Power going over to Indy on the Andretti side . So there you go . That's all racing .
Speaker 1That's the proctologist report for this segment of In Wheel Time .
Speaker 3There you go . What else do you ?
Speaker 1need to know and we've got another half hour of this show ?
Speaker 3We certainly do .
Speaker 1Time now for this hour's car review . I had a chance to drive the 2026 Hyundai Palisade . It's been around a while . The final assembly location is Ulsan , korea . Eleven trim levels Eleven Count them . It's just too many to relay to you . Go online and find out . If you're interested , I would encourage you because this is something that I think that you may be interested in . The reviewed trim level was the Calligraphy all-wheel drive . This is a standard SUV and competes against all the big boys from all of the big manufacturers . Seats , including the driver , up to seven .
Speaker 1Exterior changes from last model year , complete redesign for 2026 . This is the second generation of the Hyundai Palisade . Very linear shape , straight line from the front fender all the way back to the D pillar . Concentric wheel openings , rectangular grille with a similar front lighting design . Rear lighting mimics the front design . What I liked about it ? The exterior gets high marks for a unique modern styling element throughout with high-quality materials . What could use improvement ? Nothing . Interior highlights Integrated instruments with the infotainment encompassed in the dash and in the infotainment system . It interfaces in a center stack design , easy to understand and use controls , comfort controls and through entertainment infotainment screen . I don't know what I meant by that , but I'm sure it was good . The thought process was there , but it just kind of didn't work out the way .
Speaker 1I wanted it to . Sorry , Big area for the cargo area back there with the third row down . What I liked changeable interior lighting colors . It's fun . What could use improvement ? I don't know . It has a 3.5 liter V6 motor in it gasoline , 287 horsepower , 260 pound-feet of torque , Eight-speed automatic transmission with a tow rating of 5,000 pounds Gets 18 in the city , 24 in the highway for a combined of 20 . I got 18.8 miles per gallon over 409.4 miles . What I liked about it ? Well , the powertrain may be adequate for a soccer mom , Okay .
Speaker 3But well , I'll tell you Not a lot of spotter it could use improvement .
Speaker 1It needs an optional engine with a little bit more power , because the thing weighs 5,000 pounds .
Speaker 1I was going to ask it's very heavy , it's pretty big yeah , downshifting this thing , it's slow to recognize the fact that you're trying to go on the highway . You're at 50 miles an hour , you need to pass somebody , so it's a lag . It's not a lag , it's short on getting downshifted . Okay , it won't downshift fast enough . And then when it does , then it downshifts too far and you're back in the seat . There's a little issue For me , like I said , soccer mom probably wouldn't be a problem .
Speaker 1What I liked about it , I like the compliance . That's not your father's oldsmobile , but boy is this thing sweet . I just say fix the underpowered motor to react to the eight speed automatic transmission . That's all I can say . Base price it's not56.55 is the base trim price . Price is tested $58.03 , but you can get in one of these for $40,930 . So here are the competitors in size Chevy Suburban Premier $78,095 . Now , remember the one that I tested was $58.03 . So the Chevy Suburban Premier , which is up the scale , $78,000 . Kia Telluride , its sister or brother SX Prestige , starts at 52,885 . And the Ford Expedition , king Ranch , 86,170 . I had no clue that they were that expensive . No , but the big Ford Expedition is $86,000 . That's a long money . Man for a Ford Expedition is $86,000 . That's a lot of money man for a Ford Expedition , just saying .
Speaker 3Well , you pay for the recalls .
Speaker 4I was going to say . Good news is it'll get recalled and get fixed .
Speaker 3We're just throwing our two cents .
Speaker 1So you buy a Ford and I'm not trying to bust Ford , no , it's not that . It's not that I like Ford . So you buy a brand new ford and it gets recalled along with all the other ford recalls and they're in there trying to fix all of these recalls at the dealership . What are you going to do for a car if it's a new ? Brand new 86 000 ford expedition ? Are you going to get one of like size to drive while they fix yours ?
Speaker 4probably not . I don't know that they do that anymore . Well , some dealerships do your , your lexus and cadillacs they do give you a oh , yeah , yeah , but like my , I got a senate law , it's got that's 86 000 .
Speaker 1I can go buy a lexus for 86 000 yeah , yeah , absolutely so why would I go buy a ford ?
Speaker 4well , well , because you want , you're a ford person , I got a . Absolutely . So why would I go buy a Ford ? Well , because you're a Ford person . I got a son-in-law . That way , he's going to buy a Ford , no matter what .
Speaker 1I'm a GM guy and he's a Ford guy and I've got a story about that as well .
