When Brad Duerstock was 18, a spinal cord injury paralyzed his arms and legs, requiring him to use what control he had left in his hands to operate a power wheelchair. Throughout the more than 30 years since, Duerstock, a professor of practice in industrial engineering and biomedical engineering, has seen smartphones, tablets and other types of technology get developed but not become usable for him or others with disabilities until years later. Duerstock is working to change that for autonomous vehicles while the technology is still in its early days. Share the news: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn
