RoMela: Prototype Car for the Blind

What do you have in mind when you read or hear about blind people? Those people cannot see may be the first answer you think about. It is also clear that we tend to think that those people cannot drive a car. How can a blind drive if he cannot even see the road he is taken? Wait a minute. Back up. Yes, those blind people can drive.

It is the prototype car which allows blind people to drive a car. This car is first introduced by Virginia Tech which tested its RoMela as a prototype car for blind people. RoMela tested a dirt buggy, which is guided by laser, last week. It even aims to demonstrate two SUV (full-sized and augmented) next year. In addition, Daytona racetrack plans to make two Ford Escapes with some non-visual interfaces such as the gloves, a vibrating vest, and AirPix (a device which is covered with little holes) that really looks like the road and the obstacles on the area of the vehicle.

Therefore, it now possible to see the blind drives a car. RoMela from Virginia Tech really makes the dream of the blind come true. This car will be really useful as it can help those blind people more independent in the street.
