Blind people (hopefully) don't drive. So why did they bother doing this? Ironic. I think it's pretty funny.

Blind people don't drive, but they can be driven. Why would someone who is blind trust their PIN to their chauffeur?
Also, the drive through ATMs have the same keypads as other ATMS, so it's probably just a standard feature on the number plate.

The ATM at the drive-thru can be moved to another location, not necessarily other drive-thru. But even blind passengers have the right to use a drive-thru ATM.
Keep in mind that technology is advancing, and in due time, even blind people will be able to drive with the aid of electronic equipment. Watch National Geographic Channel or the Discovery Channel.
Blind people deserve the same opportunites we have. And who said blind people "can't see"? We have two working eyes and we are blind enough to make the same mistake over and over again.

That is a great question. I always crack up when I pull into an ATM and see brail. Kind of like the handicap parking spots at the entrance to a hiking trail.

For the same reason some signs have brail on them.... I mean.... how would a blind person see a sign to know they need to feel the brail?

Probably just using the same keypads as other ATMs to manufacture the drive-thru versions. It's easier and cheaper.

It's cheaper to make one kind of number pad in quantity than to make two kinds and have the overhead of taking and delivering orders for two otherwise identical machines.
