“A student team from Virginia Tech Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory have created a vehicle which allows the blind to drive. The vehicle uses a laser range finder to determine distances and alerts the driver through voice commands and vibration. Tomorrow [Friday] morning, the vehicle will have its first public test drive at the University of Maryland. At last, Braille on drive-up ATMs may finally be vindicated.”

Can’t we wait until people that can actually see learn how to drive….
I mean I feel bad for the blind and it’s a shame there are so many things they are unable to enjoy but is this not putting everyone else at risk?
This is a little worrying to me…
