I'm starting to think there would be crashes or sounds of explosions. But not at all. These blind people drive the cars just the way we do. If we see from a distance, you wouldn't believe they were blind.
This great donation was originally from the order of National Federation for implementing one of the Federal Nation Program, that is to develop a vehicle for blind people. 200 participants in this event also consider this as summer event.
The cars that the blinds were driving weren't common cars. The vehicles have special devices attached to lead the blind driving. First, they add a laser sensor to detect and organzie the route. Secondly, they also add a kind of shaking device useful for turnings. Thirdly, the sound device capable of giving the right time to turn and other orders.
At least, we won't be worrying anymore for the blinds, thanks to Maryland University

This might be an interesting idea, even for drivers with normal eyesight. Imagine, a road without proper lighting, or one that's dense with fog -- even a normal driver would have some trouble navigating through there. Really, who knows how far this technology could go?
