[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Nancy, one of the things you point out in your message is the reason why
I tried to joke with Margo a little about driving.  I don't believe the
joke worked but then some of us were never good at telling jokes.  Remember
that old prison joke about the numbers of jokes.
With that aside now, what you say about technology and driving is true.
If we wanted to spend the money to orient specific parts of technology
all in that direction, in a massive effort to accomplish that one goal
of a blind person driving a vehicle, we could probably do it.  The much
broader question is, should we.  Of all the goals and benefits that we
could spend those billions on, many of them would be a greater asset, a
lot sooner than computerized driving for the blind.
