專案背景：一位朋友的存在與對未來的期盼
此專案的契機，源於代表取締役高橋明希的兒子的一位全盲朋友泰勒（Taylor）。「我們希望能創造一個未來，讓像泰勒這樣看不見的孩子們，也能夠在未來憑藉自己的意願開車。」同時，我們也希望能貼近泰勒父母那份迫切的擔憂：「我們還能接送他多久？」
這不僅僅是關於孩子們。為了讓更多人能體驗駕駛的樂趣，教習所一定有可以提供支援的地方。我們懷抱著對汽車的深厚熱愛與堅持，正致力於一項只有我們才能做到的挑戰。
我們的做法：「思考如何做到」，而非「做不到的理由」
一般聽到「視障」時，或許容易聯想到「完全看不見」。然而，視障的程度因人而異，不僅有全盲（完全看不見／僅有光感）者，也有僅視力較低或視野狹窄的弱視者。本次專案中，有全盲者、弱視者，以及右眼有部分視力、左眼僅能辨識眼前揮手動作及方向（手動弁）等級別的參與者前來體驗。
在駕駛體驗中，我們首先從建立安心感開始。在實際進入車輛前，我們安排了「心智繪圖」的環節，讓參與者用指尖描繪路線的形狀，在腦中整理轉彎處和距離感。此外，也透過模擬器讓他們掌握油門和煞車的感覺，以及方向盤轉動多少會引起車輛如何反應等，藉此建立對車輛反應的感知距離。

常見問題
What is the main goal of the Musashi Sakai Driving School's new brand website?
The main goal is to showcase how the driving school can support challenges for individuals, regardless of disability, by focusing on what is possible, particularly through a driving experience project for visually impaired individuals.
What inspired the driving experience project for visually impaired individuals?
The project was inspired by a completely blind friend of the representative director's son, and a desire to create a future where visually impaired individuals can drive and to address the anxieties of their caregivers.
How does the driving school prepare visually impaired participants for the driving experience?
Preparations include 'mental mapping' where participants trace the course layout to understand distances and turns, and using simulators to get a feel for the vehicle's controls and responsiveness.
Does the project only involve completely blind individuals?
No, the project includes individuals with various visual characteristics, such as those who are completely blind, those with low vision, and those who have some residual sight.
What is the core philosophy behind the project's approach?
The core philosophy is to focus on 'how it can be done' rather than dwelling on 'reasons why it can't be done,' emphasizing solutions and possibilities.
