Bioptic Driving

Friday, March 30, 2012

This week I received an email from NOAH informing me of an upcoming webinar on Bioptic Driving.  Bioptic Driving was designed as a way to allow visually impaired individuals to drive a car when they ordinarily were unable to.  Apparently it is causing a lot of commotion right now from Google to NPR to the Conan show.  If you’d like to see what all the hype is about, or if you have a family member who would benefit from a “computerized chauffeur”, I’d urge you to follow the link and attend.  One of the first things the doctors told us when Liam was diagnosed with his eye condition was “just don’t ever expect him to be able to drive.”  I hope in 20 years Liam will be waiving at them from the drivers seat at a stoplight saying “take that doc!”
