You’ve hit on a strong point “independence”. Hypothetically if this was done via an app with advanced AI that could see and describe the world around you, would you feel more confortable using it? Knowing that it’s not powered by another human?
For me, definitely. Things that work off my input alone (blind stick, public transit, apps with no other person involved) really help me feel independent and I'm much more likely to use it.
I am glad that this (and ride share) are workin for other blind folk though.
