Ken. We had the ability to detect flashing lights even before we had
access to the computer. Ask any blind switch board (PBX) operator.
I'm sure if one needs a light detector in the car it could be arranged when
the light flashes it would make a series of beeps or maybe even say flashing
light pull over.
Things talk now days maybe you could even get a clip from the "white
nightconvoy songwas it in smoky and the bandit?
"Ten four back door, your in a heap of trouble that's for sure. I'll read
you your rights and treat you fair pull on over by your rockin chair."
Well close enough.
So lights are doible.

How would you know when the police light was flashing at you to pull over?
See, you can drive, but not know when to pull over.

Oh my the list police are out in rare form. Actually the vigilanty
border patrol would be more like itbecause the only power they have is to
blow off steam in fact can't even make a citizens arrest!
How many things do I see on this list totally unrelated to window-eyes.
But
the reaction and the editorialization are unrelated as well.
So is my reaction so I labeled it ot which in english means off topic.
Hope that's clear by the subject line but just in case your speeding along
through these post without your vibrating vest slow down.
Stop! Smell the roses, take a deep breath and have a great day!
God bless!
Mike
PS and Unrelated Terri is Cable really lots faster than DSL for a totally
blind user with window-eyes assuming he / she uses the fastest DSL and
does
it make a difference?
What would I notice if it does? I love speeding on the internet.
The fix it tickets are what I don't like lol.

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.
