The title of this post sounds quite dangerous, but the first car that can be driven by the blind is in its test phase already. The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, College of Engineering (Virginia Tech) have announced that they have partnered to demonstrate the first street vehicle equipped with technology allowing a blind person to drive independently.
The car will be demonstrated during the pre race activities for the 2011 Rolex 24 At Daytona.
