Check this out. I had heard about this project, but I didn't realize that

*	Drivers who cannot see can drive talking vehicle

Students at Virginia Tech have upgraded a dirt buggy with laser range
finders, an interface for voice commands and other equipment to enable
drivers with visual impairments to drive. Instead of using technology to
drive itself, the buggy senses its surroundings and offers drivers who
cannot see information so that they can make decisions about braking, speed
and steering.
