# Handicapable Autonomous Autos The Wheel Chair Mobility Independent Concept is for the Paralyzed By Michael Hines | Published 2012-01-10 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheel-chair-mobility-independent-concept References: [designbuzz](http://www.designbuzz.com/wheelchair-mobility-independent-concept-physically-challenged.html) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/lejuan/specialty-vehicle/34) The Wheel Chair Mobility Independent concept is a vehicle specifically designed for those who are in a wheelchair. This unique vehicle features ramps that come out from all four sides of the vehicle and is completely seat-less. The Wheel Chair Mobility Independent concept was designed by LeJuan Richardson and is futuristic to say the least. Many vehicles today have [wheelchair ramps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobidry) or lifts, but no vehicle is designed specifically with [disabled and immobilized](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-accessibility) in mind. This concept is great as it gives people who are unable to walk on their own complete independence when it comes to driving. Since the concept uses the [wheelchairs themselves as seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-wheelchair), the vehicle has been designed with cargo containers that pop out from the side. Here’s hoping that someone picks up on this concept and gives it a serious look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wheelchair Accessibility:** Opportunity for creating autonomous vehicles specifically designed for wheelchair users to provide them with independent mobility. - **Seamless Ramp Integration:** Opportunity to develop innovative vehicles with ramps that seamlessly integrate into all sides of the vehicle for easy and convenient wheelchair access. - **Adaptive Cargo Solutions:** Opportunity to design vehicles with adaptable cargo containers that cater to the specific needs of wheelchair users, allowing for efficient transportation of personal belongings or equipment. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in the automotive industry to create wheelchair accessible autonomous vehicles that provide greater mobility and independence to disabled individuals. - **Assistive Technology:** In the field of assistive technology, there is an opportunity to develop innovative wheelchair designs and mobility solutions that enhance accessibility. - **Logistics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity exists in the logistics industry to create adaptive cargo solutions for wheelchair users, enabling efficient transportation of personal items or equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wheelchair-Friendly Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-van.md) - [Two-in-One Senior Mobility Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-wheelchair.md) - [Accessibility-Promoting Electric Quadricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-quadricycle.md) - [Wheelchair-Accessible Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheelchairaccessible-electric-vehicle.md) - [Robotic Movement-Interpreting Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-unione.md) - [Sleek Robotic Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-wheelchair.md) - [Accessible Amusement Park Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seatonwheels.md) - [Modular Powered Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheelchair-hand-cycle.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-electric-mobility.md)
