Musashisakai Driving School is continuing its 'Wind, Feeling Project,' providing driving experiences for the visually impaired, with the next event scheduled for July 26, 2026.

Musashisakai Driving School is continuing its driving experience project for the visually impaired, titled the 'Wind, Feeling Project.'

Following significant interest after the initial announcement, the school has officially hosted visually impaired participants for hands-on driving experiences. By providing participants with the actual 'sensation of driving,' the project aims to create opportunities for society to rethink 'what freedom of mobility means,' 'the value of driving,' and 'how future mobility should look.' The initiative also carries the message that 'anyone can take on a challenge.'

To ensure safety, the project utilizes the school's driving course, accompanied by instructors, auxiliary brakes, and handle knobs, creating a secure environment. Participants grasped the sensation of driving by navigating straight roads, slopes, S-turns, and cranks through dialogue with instructors.

Two members from the local low-vision futsal club 'CLUB VALER TOKYO' participated, stating, 'I was happy with the feeling of controlling the car myself,' and 'I felt I could do it too.'

The next session is scheduled for July 26, 2026, starting at 17:15. Participation is by advance reservation via the dedicated website.

Moving forward, the school intends to explore the potential for visually impaired motorsports, propose limited license systems, and collaborate on driver assistance technology to build a society where people from diverse backgrounds can exercise their 'freedom of mobility.'
