There are a number of reasons,
1.its the law called equal access to public services for the handicap.
2. is because even the drive up ATM's can be accessed by a blind person who walks up to the machine.
3.the ATM can also be accessed by a blind person who is in the driverside rear seat of a vehicle that gets driven to the ATM machine.
4. It is just more cost effective for the ATM manufacturer to use one type of keypad on the ATM machines rather than paying to have two different keypads..
So in view of these reasons having braille on a drive up ATM does not seem to be a dumb idea.
However there are several places that Braille is used that is absolutely insane and outright stupid because under no circumstances would blind person ever be using it.
A few examples are
1. braille being used on aviation flight equipment and controls in the cockpit of a 747 passenger jet.
2. braille being used on the keypads and controls in commercial cranes and heavy equipment.
3. braille being used on the keypads and controls of military rocket launchers.
4. braille being used on the keypads and controls of commercial cargo ships.
5. braille being used on the keypads and firing controls of the M1A1 Abrams tank.
6. braille being used on the keypads and reactor controls of nuclear power plants.

Why do they have braille on a drive through ATM if blind people can't drive?
Blind people may not drive, but people still take them places. Braille on drive-through ATMs (specifically bank ATMs) are most likely in place so that people who are blind don't have to give out their personal bank card information, but rather, can get the money out of the ATM on their own. Besides that, I'm sure it feels nice to feel that you can get your own money out of your bank account and not have to rely on someone to do everything for you. And it's easier for the banks just to make one style of machine. Sighted people can easily use the keypads, even though they have Braille on them.
