Maybe the passengers in the car are blind?

By law, all ATMs have to have Braille. It's easier to put one at the drive-up window than manufacture special ones without Braille.

This is comply with ADA Federal Regulations. (Americans With Disabilities ACT)
Also, I have noticed that most ATMs in my area are now drive-ups. The ATMs that are "inside" the banks are being phased out.
So, someone who is visually impaired can use it - he/she will need to get out the car and use the ATM.
I am a petite person. I have to step out my car to use the ATM. My arms aren't long enough to reach the machine from the window of my car!

Blind people cannot drive, but they go out in a car with people so there are times when a blind person may need to use one of the drive up ATM machines. They just wouldn't be by themselves.

its because all the keys are made for ATM's in general...it would be more expensive to retool factories etc to make keys that would go in drive through only ATM's..so they just put the braille keys in the drive throughs as well as the kiosk type ATM's

Perhaps in case someone is driving a blind person to the ATM, and that person is sitting in the rear drivers' side seat.

A visually impaired person could walk up to that ATM if s/he so chose...

Because there is a large number of blind people who are termed BLIND and can still see!!!! Educate yourself and learn the variety of ranges there are.
