[nabs-l] video of a blind man driving the google car

No, the original video posted by Robert is the Google car. My brother watched it and observed that the "driver" never touches the steering wheel and he confirmed, as the description mentions, that the car is well branded with the Google logo. The video of the NFB car is not the same video.
