Hi, I am a mom of 2 and who is visually impaired, my dad to day life is very difficult as it is. I think this is absolutely amazing! There are many visually impaired individuals out there including myself who can’t wait for this technology to be available to the public. I have read alot of negativity regarding the subject and of course all of which must no doubt come from naive people who obviously have good/better vision that those deemed impaired. I think as a society we should come together and support such projects. Yes, there are bugs to deal with like any other invention, but I believe the end result will reap more good than bad. I myself, am not completely bind, but don’t have enough visibilty to drive and therefore something like this would be great for me. Imagine the possibilities. Keep up the great work guys!

Nothing too special here. Blind people can drive *any* car. Once.

As much as I support diasbled-friendly things, the last thing we need is blind drivers… god help us if this becomes more than a school project…

Captain Obvious stopped by and informed me that headlights are not only a great way to see, but to be seen as well.

I agree with Ashley. This is probably more of a neat ‘side’ project than something with real life applications. There are just too many intangibles driving out on the roads for this to be anything more than that.

Nice and all, but I really, really don’t trust it. I would never put my life in its hands driving down a busy road, nor would I want someone else risking my life while they use it.

Neatorama editors are encouraged to capitalize words in a manner that will most annoy you Guest

So what was the criteria for the words in the headline to start with a capital letter?

That’s great–but who needs a driver if the car already knows what to do?
