Hey, that's good, you just got to make sure your not going too fast
because then those metal tips against the road will make sparks and
set forest fires 'grin'.
And watch those pot holes too, I hit one last week, and it popped my
cane back in my glass eye which went flying out the window, and I had
a heck of a time finding it and no-one would stop and help me.

I have an extra long white cane and I put it out the window and hit
the road in front of the car, so I know where I am going.

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

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.
