To mark the UN's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Click presents a programme focusing on technology that helps people living with a disability. Each of the reports is authored by someone who has a disability relating to the technology they are testing. Dayne Martin, who has cerebral palsy and no peripheral vision and will never be able to drive, tests out a driverless car on a track in the UK. Ex-racing driver Sam Schmidt, who was left quadriplegic after a car accident on the race track, shows us how he now drives in Las Vegas using a mouth piece and with a special license for a semi-autonomous vehicle. Kathleen Hawkins, a bi-lateral below the knee amputee, travels to America to test out the latest in 3D printing technology for leg sockets. And back in the UK, gold medal winning Paralympian Libby Clegg, who is registered blind, tries out a headset that lets her see her boyfriend Dan's face clearly.
