[Nfbaz-talk] Fw: Maricopa county regional transit presentations

Tue Aug 11 23:10:39 UTC 2009

I honestly think that the blind driver car is going to be longer in coming 
than many of us think.  It's a very new concept and probably has a long way 
to go.  I put it in the category of other technologies like eye transplants 
and such.  Sound fun, but I'm not expecting too much very soon.  I have to 
live my life and get to where I need to go now.  I can't wait for technology 
to catch up to me and my needs.
