[nagdu] Blind-Drivable Car at Convention

[David Andrews]

While I could be wrong -- I am pretty sure there is no strip.  First, 
I doubt Daytona Speedway would allow something to be put down, and 
there wasn't time to put it down and take it up, among race 
preparation etc.  Secondly, one of the systems on the car is called 
"Drive Grips" or something like that, gloves that help you steer by 
vibrating across your hands in the directions you need to go.
