MC is looking to add specific shaped notches in their cards in the future to aid the visually impaired in selecting between credit, debit and pre-paid cards.

That's nice. Discover has had a Braille card for a long time. Hopefully, all the CC companies will move to a standard, uniform model for cards for visually impaired customers.

Wouldn't the raised digits of the card be enough to tell them what card they are using?

I know CC Companies are taking away the raised digits, but I would have thought they would be a benefit to someone who was blind. If that is the case, then they have a system they have been using for 50 years that would work.
