Abstract

This article contributes to the discussion about autonomous vehicles and impaired people. It presents a bibliographic survey, followed by the exploratory study with interviews with two blinded people and with an expert from automobile industry. It argues that to contain these emphases and gaps it is necessary to map the process of dislocation of blind people guided by a computational system, considering all type of obstacle encountered and to promote studies in the scope of Design, Engineering and Assistive Technology (AT).
