Oh, God, that's all we need, blind drivers! Lol holy crap, I'd be way to scared to even think of doing this! I'd love to drive, probably just like a lot of other blind people, but I'm very doubtful it'll ever happen. Think of all the things that could go wrong. As another member of this list pointed out, what if the vibrating gloves and seat malfunction? And if some duche pulls out in front of you? Would you have enough time to react? Would you have enough warning to pull off the road? And what if you did get into an accident? Who would be fixing the car? Certainly a macanic could do the repares on the car, but what about the most-likely prohibitive cost of reparing the meckanisms providing feedback to the blind driver? Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick to the bus and walking. Oh, and my boyfriend can do all the driving. We do have a car. Thank God, because groceries are heavy, and we often buy more than can fit in a small personal wheeled cart.
