So, first check out this article...
Somehow Google Thinks Blind People Should Drive.
Read the comments, I think there are some good ones in there (even a little nugget from me).
I believe this is a terrible idea. This irritates me to no end, actually. It is not like an argument of rights like giving women the right to vote, gay people the right to marriage, or black people basic human rights. We were always taught that driving is a privilige, not a right. Part of the requirements when you get a license is to take an eye exam. That right there should prevent this from happening.
Now, I am not heartless. I could never understand what it is like to run through life with any disability. I could not ever imagine losing one of my senses. However, just because it is a sad situation does not mean that this type of disability should be allowed to operate a car. This concept really scares me. Maybe the Machines will rise soon, after all.
I don't know. If I was blind, I don't think I should drive a car.
