Why would accommodations have to be made accessible if the products would
not have to be made accessible?  That doesn't make sense.  By the way accessible
cars are being worked on now.  You'll hear about this in the context of
smart highways and work being done to create these.

It's possible and i think probable that products will be required to be
accessible in the future and this a.d.a. is really a bad compromise that
will be fixed.

Biology classes and microscopes are accessible to the totally blind.
Though they may benefit from the former there's no benefit to
the latter.
