Not really a good example. Blind humans don't navigate cities easily, even when cities take them into account. As an example, crossing a street despite tactile surfaces on each side can be a hassle because it's difficult to tell if you're walking straight or diagonal towards the other end, potentially walking into a car. Sound only takes you so far.
