I think we have some precedent for allowing exceptions for accessibility devices. Seeing eye dogs are allowed in places that other dogs are not, for example.
But regulation could still hurt the sight impaired by putting a chill on innovation in this space. No one’s going to invest big in these technologies just to serve the sight impaired, I’m sorry to say.
Thats why im not particularly mad about the dudebros throwing money at this stuff. Yeah, its douchey, but the money spent on this technology now will vastly help the visually impaired down the road. Just having glasses you can point at text to read it out loud is world changing.
Yes the accessibility side of the argument is very clear. If we could decide the whole thing based only on that, this would be easy.
