Watch out! Blind drivers may be coming soon

We've heard of hybrid and electric cars designed to make noise , so that blind pedestrians don't get run over by them, but how about a car designed for blind people to drive it? That's what Virginia Tech and the National Federation for the Blind have come up with.

Cars with white canes have the right of way ... including sidewalks.

Sounds dangerous for everyone on the road. It would be great if the drivers were properly trained & the vehicle alerts, etc NEVER broke down. So how's that going to work? Stuff malfunctions all the time. So who will be at fault when a blind driver causes someone to be killed because while they were driving, the vehicle's computer freezes up & they can't receive commands from it? How will they then determine what to do?Scary stuff here.

Does this mean windshields will be optional?

Hell, they'll probably be safer than beer guzzling, pot smoking, text messaging, illiterate (can't read signs anyway), map reading, GPS reading, road raging, rubber necking, kid smacking, radio surfing, nose picking, ass scratching drivers that are one the roads today...........
