Deaf people drive.

I knew a guy with no arms who drove with his prosthetic hooks. Of course he can feel vibrations and things through his ass, but so could the car if they wanted. Do they use accelerometer data? (I don't know the answer to that) Do they have ABS sensors that can detect wheel lockup/speed status? Because I don't.

I believe I can drive a car to the legal standard, remotely, with a good enough camera array.

You might be able to but again, that has little to do with vision and much to do with your persistent and correct mental model of the world.

You should fix that. Go out on a rainy day and slam the brakes hard enough for it to kick in. There's an obvious vibration and knowing what it feels like might save your life.

    Yes. Anyone who believes they don’t drive primarily with their butt is wrong.
