Home / Archives for Making a Car for Blind Drivers
Using robotics, laser range-finders, GPS and smart feedback tools, Dennis Hong is building a car for drivers who are blind. It’s not a ‘self-driving’ car, he’s careful to note, but a car in which a non-sighted driver can determine speed, proximity and route and drive independently.
