  It’s really something how when you lose one sense, the other ones make up for it. Blinddeaf folks drive by smell alone, main reason EVs have that added scent since they lack the same smell as gas vehicles.

    Good point on the smell thing. I’ll be out driving with my blind friend and if we want something to eat he will rattle off all the places he can smell. And he drives there flawlessly
