I really enjoyed the Blind Driving piece. In case someone didn't point it out to you, the first few seconds of Jerry shows him with a BrailleNote around his neck. He isn't wearing it when driving. At this stage, it is up to the co-pilot to use the GPS and provide directions and not the driver.

First I am sorry for being off topic. Yes that was one of the most fun things that I have done. I thank every one and every thing and every version of God or what ever that I am still alive and uninjured from that. I do think that we will see some version of an automated car before most of us die, but I don't know how soon they will be on the road. My dream is to be able to take my GPS system, create a route with stops in it, and plug the info into my car and settle in for a Road trip. Can you imagine how much fun we could have creating scenic trips for the blind and sharing them with each other?
