We often talk about how autonomous vehicles can move people who otherwise wouldn't be able to commute as independently. Sasha Lekach, a tech reporter for transportation at Mashable, shares how it happened recently in real life at the National Federation of the Blind's annual conference in Las Vegas. At the conference, Lyft teamed up with self-driving car pioneer Aptiv to give people with impaired vision more than three hours worth of rides. Hear from Sasha about how intelligent transportation companies like Lyft and Aptiv are liberating people who have to rely on others to move around in their communities.
