Do they make special cars for blind drivers? I know they make them
for people with other handicaps, for example they have the gas and
brake pedals up by the steering wheel and hand operated, rather than
foot operated. So what do they make for the totally blind person? Up
to now, blind people could not drive, which is discrimination, and
about all they could do was ride a well trained horse. Have they come
up with any thing yet to assist them? Of what about a car that gets
driven by their seeing eye dog? The time has come to make driving
available for the blind.

I know this is a troll, but wait long enough, and this will happen.
Eventually, all cars will drive themselves. When that happens, it doesn't
matter if the owner/operator can see or not. As long as controls have
braille markings, or recognize voice commands, the blind will get around
just fine with a self-driving car. -Dave

Give it time. Before long, the disability pimps will have the blind
flying A380's.

It must already happen; all of the drive up ATMs I see have braille on
their keypads.

Something must have already been done. Judging by what I see on the
road, about 1/2 the drivers out there are blind.

Where do you live? I might have to move; 1/2 would be an improvement
from my location. :-)

Yup, saw a lot of them in NY today. Large plow blocking both lanes. I'm in
right lane behind him, a safe distance... but with all the flashing lights
and shit, you could see him for MILES. Didn't stop many people from
screaming by me at twice the normal speed limit to suddenly slam on their
brakes when (OH SHIT) they almost slammed into the invisible
nowplow. -Dave
