Thank you, Sue. There is some great advice here! I would be wise to look into these options. And thankfully, his vehicle is a newer one, and has those features! I’m not sure he sees that on the horizon yet, but he has always been an “even-keel” person who would never want to hurt others, or possibly be the cause of an accident.

My father did not accept that he was loosing the ability to drive safely, yet he was very proud of the fact he had never hurt anyone. When my mother, who hadn't been driving for several years, became alarmed at my father's inability to remember to "turn R at the next street", for example, I suggested that he have his driving ability checked by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Nothing happened. Finally, realizing that somebody needed to step in, I wrote to the DMV in the town where my parents lived. They called Dad in for a re-evaluation. He would be required to retake the knowledge part, i.e., the written part, of the driver exam. He relayed to us that he couldn't remember the question when he was to pick out the correct answer from multiple choice. He failed the test. He had three chances to pass it. He failed a second time, and said he was not going back again. My mom called me and asked me to come get their vehicle because Dad would forget that he no longer had a driver license if the car was still in the garage. I went that weekend and picked up their car so it was not a temptation for him to drive. He lived for seven or eight years after that with ever declining memory issues.
