Because in development for the blind
Scientists from the United States and the National Federation of the Blind are working together to develop a new type of car for the blind, and they hope to unveil at least a working prototype of next year. This car is the technology that will enable a blind person, whether driving can be equipped according to the NFB and the Virginia Tech University. Needless to say, there is a lot of technology in such a vehicle, where among the non-visual aids, such as sensors indicate turns in the road vibration gloves are packed. Otherwise, air shocks will help on his face warn the driver of obstacles. Of course not all, there is other aid to be thrown into battle, among them a vibrating vest that information on speed and steering wheel with audio and voice commands, which specify the direction that offers car.
Laser sensor and camera work as the eyes of a buggy, which was a predecessor of the cars for the blind, is being reinforced. The model will be introduced next year will do a modified version of the Ford Escape sport utility vehicle, and that my friends, is not a small vehicle like you. NFB President Marc Maurer said, “We will explore areas that are already as unfathomable.” Otherwise, change projects such as this car will help the people, the perception of the blind, where many think it is even lower blind man's ability to contribute to society ends. Needless to say, that many people initially thought the idea of Mr. Maurer like crazy when he said a decade ago, but not the human race has over the years simply because of the stubbornness of the few who went ahead with their first “Crazy” Ideas?
Interested persons should be the prototype of the public are blind tested by a driver in the case except the Daytona track in Florida in January next year. It is only a year and a half, and we hope that the test be a success.
