You talk like he has a lot of money.

He LIVES on Social Security. Period.
Catch 22.
Such tech is only available on the new cars.

Of course, you could just buy him one yourself and inherit it if he passes. :)
Mr. Money bags Bear. ;) :p

Then for realz use the angle of no longer paying for auto insurance for as seldom as he drives :)
We did talk about it... "talk" being very generous. His answer to my
suggestion is that he would feel lost, stranded and imprisoned.

So, I stopped.

There you have it.

Yep.
It's that "what if" thing. Like "what if there's a terrorist attack an I have to evacuate the area" (discounting that the roads would be jammed up anyway). Or "I can't just go whenever I want to"...

Does he live in an area that is fairly urban? Or rural? Or 'berbs?

It's that nebulous area BETWEEN urban and suburban. The two big
grocery chains are LESS than a mile away. ALL his doctors are, at
the most, 3 miles away. (But never mind that I've been taking him
to docs and doing shopping.) It was Friday he just wanted to go pick
up a prescription when the power steering thing happened. Even then,
he wrestled with the wheel and also went to his "dollar store" before
coming home... and his "dollar store" is right next to the big grocery
store. So... he is conveniently located... except for me... almost 60
miles round-trip.

Your next suggestion: Move him closer to me!!! Go on!!! Suggest it!!!
