Hi.. I might have missed the post, but braille on drive through has zero to do with a design mistake - it's practicality. The ATM manufacturer doesn't put out a "drive-through" and "walk-up" model - it puts out one, and

It's usually a legal risk deferrer decision to buy the ATM casing with Braille. Someone pointed out that Drive-Ups and Walk-Ups are the same, which it true for the internals but not Drive-Ups casing and moldings, which are adjusted for the average eye level of a person in a car, plus recessed, tiled monitors, etc. Basically, it costs x,xxx.xx to get the casing with Braille, and legal risk is valued at xx,xxx.xx (i.e. someone suing them because it doesn't have Braille). Better safe then sorry in risk management. I wouldn't view this is a lapse in deign decision, more of an obscure design decision.

it's up to whomever to mount it. Simpler just to put braille on the kit and ship, and not worry about it.

But the bank, who chooses to mount the Braille-enabled machine as drive through, orders the Braille added, do they not? (As to whether or not this is a good idea, I'm keeping away from.)
