The Race for Independence is a fundraising campaign, Michael, to raise money
for the Imagination Fund. That fund supports the programs of the NFB's
Jernigan Institute, such as the blind driver challenge. More info is at
www.raceforindependence.org -- the goal is to have a street- ready car that
is totally drivable by an independent blind person.

What is this post of the race for independence about?  And, what does this
have to do with this list other than being sanctioned by the NFB.  I have
seen articles about people outfitting cars with navigation devices and noise
emitting devices that allow one to "drive" in quotes at certain speeds in
"set up" venues.  I may wish to add this at some point to my FB account but
I want to learn more about the "challenge".

Any help or suggestions as to where I could go to read about such would be
appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
