We in the NFB say “Live the life you want”, correct? 

That means to me that we have the freedom to choose . Do I want to drive ridea bus or Lyft. It will give rural living folks more freedom but honestly we are fighting to have choices. If not why do we allow NAGDU exist? Cane or dog is a choice. I don’t feel safe without a human in the vehicle. That is my personal choice. I’m not saying blind can’t do driving;.  Remember there are many sight that choose not to own a car but could get a license, afford a car and drive to desired location and back.

I may not understand your message, but may I suggest that there is nothing contradictory in saying that in the next decade I may be able to ride in a self-driven car, but today I better learn about Uber, Lyft, hiring my own people, and even occasionally dialing a taxi? I don't like the negative tone some display, but don't we have to walk a dual track here: working on tomorrow while living in today? Is this at odds with what the NFB should be representing?
