Emerging autonomous vehicles require significant augmentation and modifications to enable effective use by passengers with disabilities. We consider the problem of designing autonomous public transportation for passengers with visual impairment. Our proposed architecture augments the vehicule with robotic arms to assist the passenger in embarking and disembarking, and a smartphone app to coordinate the assistance with the vehicular technology. We identify critical challenges involved and our approaches to address them. We develop a simulation framework to demonstrate the viability of the system.
