[blindkid] get your kids their drivers permits!

[Albert J Rizzi]

The automotive industry is hoping to have cars that can drive themselves for
people of all abilities by 2028, if I am not mistaken. They are talking
about having a car that a mother or father can send out to pick up the kids
while they are at home doing whatever. Or, a driver being able to put the
car on auto pilot and then nap or work on their way home. It is already in
the works and many components to make this a reality are already in place,
it is just a matter of time.

The real challenge will be how to access signs and lights.  How do you tell
a stop sign, whether a stop light is green or red, A Yield Sign, No turn on
red etc.

This is a big step forward but unfortunately I don't see driving accessible
for the blind within my lifetime.

At some point in the future maybe but I have to say many years off.

 being able to drive again exciting. Read on!
