An exciting application of autonomous vehicle technology: self-driving wheelchairs (for the many who require assistance to use their power wheelchairs).
From an opinion piece in WIRED:
For those of us with mobility challenges, a wheelchair is our car. It may travel slower, using pathways other than the open road, but it is imperative to our mobility. Now the tech industry has the chance to be an absolute hero for millions of people in the coming years, especially as the world’s population ages. Investing in assistive technologies means investing in our collective survival: disability and access is everyone’s issue.
