Gael Hannon on Self-Forgiveness

Self-Driving Cars Study Participants Wanted

Researchers at the University of Michigan’s Departments of Family Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation are reaching out to people with disabilities to see if they are interested in participating in our study. The goal of this study is to learn more about what people with disabilities think about and want from autonomous vehicles (AVs), which are cars that drive with little or no human involvement. This research could help make AVs easier to use for people with disabilities.

Here’s the flyer. It has a different ways to contact them if you’re interested.
