Both Mom and Dad were on the bubble a couple years ago. Dad with diabetes and some dementia lost his ability to judge space and anything not directly in front of him was not accounted for. Got into 2 fender benders and the DMV stepped in. Mom would drive to the store when she ran out of wine. She still has her license but I told her it was suspended like Dad. Dad was going to drive no matter what. No insurance, no license, he didn't care. I started by parking the Jeep in their garage (they in Santa Barbara and me in San Diego), locked up and disabled (battery). I couldn't sell the Jeep as that would have started a war. I endured 1 year of threats of Dad getting it re-keyed and how he was no longer a free man. He refused taxi service...just being stubborn, and would call friends & neighbors at 2 AM to get a ride to the grocery store. Things improved after the next big step, moved them to assisted living here in SD area. He still talks about his Jeep which is still parked in SB. Rough times.

I hope that in 25-30 years when my keys are taken away the driver less car thing will be a viable option.
