[nagdu] Blind-Drivable Car at Convention

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Cindy and everyone,

    If you recall from past issues of The Braille Monitor and Presidential 
Releases we're planning to drive the car from our headquarters in Baltimore 
to Orlando for the 2011 National Convention. Whether someone will drive the 
car through from Baltimore or if several individuals trained in the use of 
the technology that will allow the car to be driven by the blind will share 
the task (Sort of like the Olympic torch relay where various individuals 
carry the Olympic Torch part of the way along the route to the site of an 
Olympic competition) of this I'm not sure. Much will depend on tests done on 
the open road between now and the national convention as to whether the 
vehicle will be in Orlando or not. I also heard that interested individuals 
would have an opportunity to try driving the car during this year's national 
convention.

The vehicle is still very much a prototype. I don't know if it will be at 
convention, but I don't think anyone could test it there.
