It says units hit by a weapon with this special rule take an initiative test which, if they fail, makes them WS/BS 1. Does this mean vehicles can get hit and autofail this test? I know GW uses 'unit' to describe vehicles from time to time. For instance, for the purpose of psychic powers, kill points, and reserves.

What do we think?

From the rulebook FAQ http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3170233a_40K_RULEBOOK_v1.4_APRIL13.pdf

Page 34 – Special Rules, Blind
Add “Furthermore, any model that does not have an Initiative
characteristic (for example non-walker Vehicles, Fortifications
etc) are unaffected by this special rule.”...after the last
sentence.

In general, having no stat does not equal 0 stat. when its 0 you fail, but when there isn't a stat you don't get to test in the first place
