Hi Friends,
I recently interviewed several people involved in the Blind Driver
Challenge, including Anil Lewis, NFB of PA president Jim Antonacci and
Greater Philadelphia president Denise Brown. The link and blurb for my
article are below my name. Tomorrow a blind driver is going to solo at
the Daytona International Speedway. The point is to reshape Americans'
perceptions about what is possible without sight ... and to do basic
research on nonvisual interfaces that will help close the gap between
access technology and general technology. I'd really appreciate your
impressions. Does it send the message that blind people are capable of
far more than is generally assumed?
Thanks,
Donna

Daytona before the Rolex 24, in a Ford Escape designed by Virginia Tech
