Subject: [AutonomousVehicles] drivers licenses for people who are blind

 

Hi Everyone,
I am a member of the Autonomous Vehicles Committee and look forward to getting to know all of you. I'd love to get some discussion going on what everyone's thoughts are on driver's licenses for people who are blind as self-driving cars become more prevalent. What does the process of obtaining a license look like and has there been and discussion in your states or at the Federal level on this?

I'm low vision myself (RP) and I am excited about what these vehicles will be able to do as it relates not only giving blind/low vision people independence but also help society as a whole.

I look forward to reading your thoughts.

Cornelius
