Hello,
I would be a little curious myself. But, I would have to ask myself, "how
much is a lot more freedom worth?". I am sure that it would be more than
the cost of a vehicle. Look at it like this, folks that have to have
wheelchair equiped vehicles pay an extra premium for their independance.
Warm Regards.. Joe Lanier

Joe, I didn't find the article offensive either, I thought it was cool.
Some folks just have to be ass holes.
God forbid anyone bend a rule or brighten a day with something unusual
or up-lifting.

Hello,
Oh good grief. I wish I could be able to drive. Having said that, I
can find no reason to take exception to the presentation of the
article. I am sure the article will make the rounds of other blindness
related lists.

That's the dumbest project the NFB has come up with to date! There's
enough sighted people on the roads who shouldn't be driving.
And what does this message have to do with this list anyway?

Hello All, Thought this article might be of interest to all.
20 blind people are able to test drive dune buggy designed by Va. Tech
students
02/08/2009 12:56:00 AM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE PARK, Maryland - Several blind people were able to get behind
the wheel of a new high-tech vehicle designed by Virginia Tech
engineering students.
Twenty blind people took turns manoeuvring the retrofitted dune buggy
Friday
in a
parking lot at the University of Maryland. The test drive capped a
National Federation for the Blind summer camp for 200 blind youth from
across the country.
Virginia Tech was the only university to take on a 2004 challenge from
the federation to build a vehicle that could let blind people drive.
The buggy they designed uses a laser sensor to figure out the road ahead.
A
special
vibrating vest worn by drivers communicates speed and warns when to stop.
And a headset
relays voice commands signalling which way to turn.
