That's your job to take the keys away and get rid of the car. It's a sad situation but hardly unique

It's a sad situation made worse by stupid urban planning that prioritizes cars.
No it's not "my job". It'll be his kids' job when he's fully senile, but until then he's an adult human being with rights, and he wants to be independent and "age in place". At some point he'll cross the threshold into having his decision-making powers taken away. Let's hope no one gets hurt in the meantime.
