I’m all for this. And while we’re at it, let’s do something for the blind drivers as well.
I am Deaf and you just made an ignorant comment there.

License the dogs?
“I’m all for this. And while we’re at it, let’s do something for the blind drivers as well.”
I have a blind friend, and while he did manage to learn to ride a bicycle around his neighborhood when he was in grammer school - learning how to use echo-location on his own, he knows he cannot unaided drive a car, but he is counting on Google’s driverless car technology to scale that obstacle for him before he dies.
Of course the arrogant geeks at Google want very much for all cars to HAVE TO use their technology someday. For me I have no desire to ever use that technology - ever. Why would I??? I always prefer to NOT be the passenger now!!!
As to the deaf drivers, somewhere is a Liberal politician whose been waiting for this article so they can use it as “grist for the mill” and pull out proposed legislation that all car horns be connected to some sort of light on the car, signaling to the deaf when the horn is being honked. Of course so as to not confuse the “horn light” with any other use of lights on the car, and to make it most visible from any direction, it will demand a center-of-the-roof location for the “horn light”. Tell the car designers to start redoing their “aerodynamic” tests.
