Check this out. I had heard about this project, but I didn't realize that they
had gotten this far.
a.. Drivers who cannot see can drive talking vehicle
Students at Virginia Tech have upgraded a dirt buggy with laser range finders,
an interface for voice commands and other equipment to enable drivers with
visual impairments to drive. Instead of using technology to drive itself, the
buggy senses its surroundings and offers drivers who cannot see information so
that they can make decisions about braking, speed and steering. TG Daily (7/16)
Here's the link to the article.
