Abstract The SilverStream project has developed and demonstrated a new light and affordable vehicle concept (L-category) tailored to the needs of ageing population. The project has combined both ergonomic concepts conceived for elderly people and advanced automotive technologies for improved driveability and energy efficiency. It has been focused on the development of a comprehensive set of technologies covering the whole vehicle, driven by a team of experts in the fields of medical and cognitive science domains through a top/down approach. Hence those technologies have been integrated into a vehicle demonstrator running in realistic tests environment. This paper provides a description of the experimental activities carried out during the whole project to verify the elderly acceptance and satisfaction of the proposed vehicle and integrated technologies.
