The truth is that the aging are currently an afterthought in technology design. As FaceTime has supplanted Skype as a way to video-chat with family, desktop users have lost out. As mobile banking has replaced the branch, customers who rely on brick-and-mortar banks face new burdens to safeguard their money. As companies have moved to automated “chatbots” instead of live human phone support, the aging can find it frustrating to access automated services from phone installation to travel planning. Apple’s app store offers guidance and features to support accessible apps, but it doesn’t enforce these guidelines on app-makers.

The example of Uber and Lyft is particularly illustrative. For aging Americans on fixed incomes and unable to drive, the arrival of a low-cost competitor to taxi services should have been a big win. Yet the new ride-sharing services also rolled back accessibility features historically offered by taxi companies – for example, the ability to hail a ride by calling from a landline phone, the availability of cars and vans fitted for wheelchairs, and (at least initially) the ability to arrange a ride in advance. As Uber and Lyft reduced the number of traditional taxis, many seniors have faced longer wait times and less predictability – a trend that will likely continue.

Yet under pressure from activists and regulators, both companies have taken positive steps to bring the aging and disabled into their customer base. Under the threat of a ban in London, Uber made wheelchair-accessible vehicles available at the same price as ordinary Uber rides. Yet in other cities, Uber has offered only half-measures – the wheelchair-accessible option in Washington, D.C., for instance, simply calls an accessible D.C. taxi and tacks on a $2 fee. In San Francisco, the accessible option is available in the app but often supported by zero cars on the road. And in most cities, there’s no accessible option at all.

they haven’t moved towards “this is actually good because” yet, they are still in the defensive “so what, have you seen how many people HUMAN drivers kill?” phase.
