Weapons that cause blind effect all "models" so would include vehicles.
Blind requires an initiative test and a 6 always fails.
Models with an initiative of 0 always fail.
Vehicles don't have initiative 0 but just don't have an initiative at all (there is a difference between "zero" and "non-existant" in mathematics).

So how does blind effect vehicles? My understanding of the rules would be they fail on a 6 since a 6 always fail and they don't have an initiative value.

*edit*
Doh! It's in the damn FAQ, nevermind.

BRB faq

"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."

But Vehicles are piloted... by humanoids... that could go blind... Just sayin.

Aren't dreadnoughts one of the few vehicles where the pilots eyes can't be used?

And I guess you could make the argument that most vehicles use passive or active sensor systems so the pilots "eyes" aren't used.

Unfortunately Fluff =/= Rules.
