They put music in liquid form and inject it in your brain.Or a simple sense of vibrations pulsing through your hand and running throughout the body and the mind collects this information then processes into beats.
Something along those lines @_@

I don't know how it is in every state but I know that in the state of Kansas that give anybody out there a license. I remember my driver ed. teachers saying that one of his students was so near sighted that he had to put his face on the book in order to read and by law he had to give the kid his license.
And all so all the things you listed have already been made. Including the cars for people without legs.

@fatman, it's not about "Blinds should not have ATMs", but more about "Is there a Blind Driver that can actually drive a car, legally and can even drive his way to the drive-thru Braille ATM?"Drive-thrus are for the drivers normally, and are there any Blind Drivers?
If I have a Blind person in my car, it'll be more efficient and effective that I actually stop at a normal "braille" ATM
Looking from Objective, more Company-side perspective
"It's better safe, than getting a law suit for discrimination against the blinds"
and wouldn't it be cheaper to actually order all the same type of ATM machine at once, rather than trying to be diverse.
Actually Kaimax, I did see a video one time of a man who was Legally Blind, but that's not it. His License had been suspended for 37 years, or revoked 37 years ago, or something.
The Points is, the Man was legally blind for a good deal of time (He looked to be in his late 70s), and never, ever, got pulled over. I saw it on Smoking Gun Presents, so it might be on Trutv's Video site, but I dunno.
That, Is why they have braille ATMs.

Actually, I have driven my blind grandmother to a drive thru ATM before. She was in the back riding like Ms. Daisy and I just pulled up for her. She did everything herself since she remembered the screen orders. Might of been why we had to go to an out of the way bank as well, perhaps the other ATMs did not have braille or she could not remember the order of the questions.
I assumed that I would be pulling the money out for her, but it was nice to know she had a bit of independence since loosing her sight already took away her driving privileges.

Ok, so I was driving by Safeway and decided to stop at the drive-thru ATM, and as I was pushing the buttons... I noticed that the DRIVE-THRU ATM HAD BRAILLE ON EVERY BUTTON. What. The. Fuck. A drive-thru ATM for blind drivers... Has anyone else noticed this? If anyone knows a reason why, please let me know. Anyway, this inspired me to make a list of the most dumbass creations of all time, similar to this. If any of these exist, God help us all.1. Books for the dyslexic.
2. Music for the deaf.
3. Keyboards for those without hands. (type with your face?)
4. Porn sites for eunichs. (just fucking google it if you don't know what that is)
5. Braille televisions.
I'm really surprised no one has corrected you for number 1. Suffice to say, being dyslexic does not make you some sort of retard, and does not prevent you from reading books. I am dyslexic, and I can read quite well.
Also as someone else said, the ATMs are probably mass manufactured and it would cost more money to make a second line of non-braille ATMs just for drive throughs than to simply put a braille ATM there. I mean really, its just a couple bumps, I'm sure its not expensive.
In anycase, blind people may not need braille some time in the nearish future. Check out this article: http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=2401551&page=1

1. Books for the dyslexic.
I'm dyslexic and I read just fine.

OK the ADA (American Disabilities Act) mandates that all public usage machines must have certain considerations for the other abled
As a result I would imagine most of the machines mentioned here have dots etc
it is cheaper to manufacture one key board than two or even 4
This may come as a shock to those who never get out of their cars but there is a walk way next to virtually every ATM. I am not blind but I have walked up to the atm on numerous occasions and I have seen blind people and people unable to drive use them.
Can you say Wheel chair? We have a lot of returning Vets that cannot drive Maybe never will be able to
Same with phones. Most public phones have amplifiers for the hearing impaired and braille dots
There are dots and sometimes a audible alert on the walk/dont walk signs at major intersections
I could go on but I wont

Notice I did not ONCE use the "D" word
