sadly, the idea is an unworkable one for many reasons.
not the least of which, is the amount of computing power that'd be
required for realtime reactions and calculations.
a computer cannot account for every possible variable.

shouted thus.:

> time and money on a dumb project like an adapted dune buggy so a person who
> is blind can drive a car!
>
> Aren't there enough sighted drivers on the road who shouldn't be driving?
> Drunk drivers, people on drugs, people who can't see well enough to drive,
> people who don't have quick reaction time, people who don't have full use of
> their bodies and minds, people who don't use the sense they've got people
> who are too old or too young to drive and you want to add the blind to this
> group? The DMV is a joke! They let people drive who shouldn't be on the
> road!
>
> Is this project practical? No! Is it stupid? Yes! NFB should support
> adaptive things which would be of practical use instead of wasting time on a
> dune buggy for the blind!
