Tell everyone on this forum at what age you will voluntarily surrender your drivers license without the intervention of the " state ". Tell us what " medical conditions " will prompt that decision if they effect your ability to drive prior to the mandatory cut off. Put it in writing so your children know when they should demand your keys.
That's the whole point of having mandatory driving tests on a regular basis once you reach a certain age. If you are shown to be incapable of driving safely, you lose your license. It's not down to you or your family making the decision.
