i might want to assert no. This has brought about extremely an uproar interior the blind community with very valid factors on each and each and every element of the argument. so some distance as i'm worried, we ought to continually be operating to invent more advantageous daily residing aids for the blind that is placed into sturdy, criminal use at present without controversy. The Perkins Brailler grow to be in simple terms those days changed which could were the first a lot-mandatory makeover on condition that its invention interior the '50s. for sure, you would possibly want to continually get a HumanWare digital Brailler that still has music, information superhighway, and different large technological purposes...for more advantageous than 5,000 funds that is out the funds of ninety 9% of the blind human beings i be conscious of. 0.5 of united statesa. can't even discover the money for eco-friendly vehicles, what makes us imagine that a automobile for blind human beings might want to be extremely inexpensive and integrated into the community? in my opinion, the money might want to be more advantageous positive spent elsewhere.

• Be at least 21.
• Hold a commercial driver's license with a school bus endorsement.
• Pass an annual medical exam.
• Pass a pre-employment criminal records check. Barred: Anyone convicted of a sex crime or violent offense.

• Pass pre-employment and random drug tests. Anyone testing positive within past five years is ineligible.
• Have at least 20/40 vision in each eye with or without glasses or contact lenses.
• Have ability to recognize colors of traffic signals.

Other states are similar. You must be able to both see and hear to drive a bus.

well, obviously because they can't see what's going on around them! for example, what would happen if a blind driver was pulling into an interesection where there is a red light. no offense, but so far there isn't a sensor that will tell them if it's green or not.

I would think that answer is obvious! Would you want to put your life into the hands of a blind pilot? I certainly wouldn't

because they can't see anything like if a person was crossing the road they wouldn't be able to tell and because they can't tell if there is a car in front of them and also because they can't see what color the stop light is.
