I've signed @RNIB petition asking the Government to take action and ensure video-on-demand is accessible for all. #DescribeIt. Will you sign it too? https://t.co/PkB37eL0Vt https://t.co/qPT5Sw2KDv
Friendly PSA: I cover technology and games that are playable for both blind and Low vision players on my YouTube channel. I do space out blind accessible games more, because unfortunately they're just aren't near as many of those games available.
RNIB will be working with blind and partially sighted people, industry stakeholders, and parliamentarians to ensure that the rollout of this technology prioritises the safety and diverse needs of all riders and pedestrians.
For riders, every part of the journey, from booking the ride to locating the vehicle and undertaking the journey, should be accessible - with the ability to receive human assistance when needed.
92 per cent of people with sight loss recently told us they’ve had to walk into the road to avoid pavement obstacles. It’s important that autonomous vehicles are able to detect and adapt to these situations at all times to keep everyone safe.
As excitement grows around self-driving ride-hailing services, it's important to remember that many blind and partially sighted people still have big questions around the accessibility of autonomous vehicles and their impact on pedestrians: https://t.co/NCPli25ikL
It's getting close to release date so I wanted to remind everyone that @superblindman 's book is out September 23rd! It looks like it'll be available everywhere but I'm not 100 percent sure. It is up on Amazon.

I've taken action and written to my Councillor about the barriers blind and partially sighted people face when making pedestrian journeys, will you? https://t.co/2ViuBtDuBD
A quick programming note: Double Tap will be off air on Monday 1st September as it’s a national holiday in North America. We return to launch season 9 of our show on Tuesday 2nd. However an extra long dollop is coming your way this Saturday on the Double Tap Extra podcast feed!
I've asked my MP to meet the Guide Dogs team at their party conference. They'll be speaking up on pavement parking – a daily hazard for people with sight loss. Will you invite your MP? https://t.co/AO37aEMyhQ
