Which is still a solution looking for a problem, because someone who is blind enough to not be able to see where they're going needs to use either a cane or a dog. No one is going to be able to travel efficiently by trying to rely solely on haptic feedback to walk a straight line.

@acarson what I mean is the Apple Maps functionality solves a different problem: I want to know when to turn, but not pick up my phone or put on earbuds. The cane or dog do their own thing though.
So this “invention”
1. Misidentifies the problem to solve;
2. Doesn’t solve it fully;
3. Ignores the existing solution for the sub-problem it could actually be useful for.
When you read something like “the newly blind person’s coworkers tried to solve their problem” you get all the tech bro accolades in in one go. The whole “nobody in human history was ever as smart and knowledgeable as me” vibe.
@MostlyBlindGamer Oh OK I see what you’re saying now. Thanks for the clarification.
