The 75m RVR is to allow you to taxi off the active runway

Back in the early days of autoland I remember a lengthy discussion/disagreement about minimum vis and it was driven by the fire-services. They argued the minimum vis was for them to reach the runway within the required minimum time. I do not know the outcome of those discussions, just what the various limits are now.
