For the roadblock tasks all the instructions are written down anyway, so unless he can't read, that shouldn't be a problem for them. As far as I know, the non participating team member is allowed to offer general coaching during the task, so I'm sure they will let Margie explain the task if need be.

Yeah, Toni's coaching really helped out Dallas in Moscow!!!!
apskip:
Dr. Rox, that's unfair because that ROADLBOCK required them to be apart for multiple hours. Toni's coaching on Lenin and Stalin did result in his finding their statues, actually one more than was there. Dallas already knew the importance of retaining clues, passports and money but was not able to practice all of what he knew effectively when in a pressure-packed time-sensitive challange.

New Zealand Season 13.
They have reduced self driving in recent seasons, but not removed it completely. If press releases quoting BvM are correct, the Producers have tried to reduce the use of flying this season, which means there will be an increase in other forms of ground transport, maybe including more self driving.

Some tasks lend themselves to getting help from the locals. While obviously a racer *can* always just complete it alone, numerous occasions have shown that asking the locals for directions/knowledge, or even a helping hand, have given a huge advantage. I'm sure Luke has developed numerous skills for communicating with those of us who are unable to understand sign, but in a time pressure situation, when he is separate from his Mum, even things like negotiating with a taxi driver would still possibly be an extra hurdle for him in comparison to the other racers.
Jobby:
I think i definitely do not see this team possibly winning, but i believe they won't be the first boot as well because Luke needs to "prove himself to the world" as stated in his bio like Charla before getting eliminated at 6th and 7th, like Charla and Mirna in TAR 5 and Peter and Sarah in TAR 10.
Ashe:
I think they'll do well. They sure as hell won't go out first (I'm saving that bet for Steve & Linda), but I don't think they'll win, either. Maybe . . . fifth or sixth? Sad fourth-place finish, even?
