[nfb-talk] Coverage of CNN interview on blind driving

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

    Mary and I would welcome the chance to own and drive our own vehicles. 
This is very empowering. It can mean the difference between living in the 
city or being able to live in the country or in other locations where public 
transportation isn't available. It means having full control over when you 
travel. You wouldn't
need to live your life based on a public transit providers schedule instead 
of yours. And let's not forget the spin-off technologies that will be 
developed from this venture. This initiative when successful will pack a 
mighty punch when it comes to improving the lives of the blind.
