[NFBV-Alexandria] Join the Conversation: Self-Driving Cars and PwD

[BrianMiller]

Good morning,

 

I wanted to share the below opportunity to provide input on self driving
cars. It's critical that the blind and visually impaired are not shut out of
this fast developing transportation revolution. 

 

Thanks,

 

Brian Miller

Greater Alexandria chapter of the NFB of Virginia
