If the AAA surveyed it's members and did nothing to control for age of respondents, I am guessing that the results overemphasize the opinions of drivers over the age of 50. When I visit my local AAA office most of the customers look like they're over 50. From my experiences, it appears that older people are slower to embrace change and new technology. However, blind spot detection, parking assist, rear view cameras and lane departure warnings are all things that help older drivers to a great extent due to their slowing reaction time and decreasing general awareness.
