[Nfb-cars] Gaining experience with driving

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

speaking of something like this, i think blind people should know how a car 
works in case the person they are with has a heart attack or something.
the person should pretend they are physically unable to operate the car and 
the blind person could practice pulling the foot off of the gas 
pedal/pushing the shifter to neutral and getting down to a slower speed and 
moving onto the shoulder.

on the other hand, dr. mauer went overboard in believing the 
public/insurance companies would allow blind people to drive or a car will 
be built that will allow a blind person to drive.
half or more of the time, a driver has to react to the unexpected and a 
system that depends on timing or sensors wouldn't avoid a potential wreck.
