Abstract
This chapter introduces new concepts on safe driver-assistance systems for increase in driver acceptance of the systems and for elderly driver assistance. Driver acceptance will be increased by helpful but not- annoying assistance, which requires monitoring of the driver status as well as the traffic and roadway conditions. The assistance has some levels like information, or advice, or warning, which is determined by both the driver status and the traffic and roadway conditions. The elderly driver-assistance is based on cooperation between vehicles, which assists not only perception but also decision making and action by an elderly driver from another vehicle through inter-vehicle communications. Some experiments of the systems will also be described.
