What is the point of the braille at the drive up atm machines? Only in America. (Or not?)

Braille isn't used only by those who are fully blind. Think about those who are visually impaired.

Well, someone else can drive them. Perhaps they don't want people to know their personal financial information (like ATM pins and such).
