The NFB Blind Driver Challenge was recently a feature story on both the TODAY show and MotorWeek. Both segments cover the story from a different angle, with MotorWeek providing a more in-depth look into background of, and technology used in, the Challenge. The TODAY clip is slightly more entertaining, as NBC’s anchor Jenna Wolfe gets “SafeStopped” (new verb for getting emergency stopped with the TORC SafeStop) a few times and maxes out at 4 mph!
