The thing I am most excited about as a 38 year old is the prospect that I won't lose my independence in my golden years like I am now watching my parents generation undergo.

Self-driving cars and more efficient public transportation will surely add life to backend of gen Xers lives.

Accounting for the above, it is my hope that someone in Elon's camp is reaching out and explaining the benefits to AARP -- they'd be a powerful ally to ensure the progress isn't snuffed out.

Great insight. I was thinking a similar thing today, regarding comunications and tech. Even if older folks can't move that much, technological literacy will permit future old generations to do many more things from home.
