This one is the Firefly. It's an attachment that clips onto the front of a wheelchair. I've seen videos where a person can even navigate rough terrain, such as a dirt hiking trail.
Here's a video of the Firefly in action:
There's also a car, the Chairiot Solo that is designed specifically for a solo wheelchair driver, There's also a version of this that includes a fun sunroof. This isn't a car that can be driven on the highway. It has a speed limit of either 25 or 35 miles per hour, depending on one's location/local laws, and it only has a range of 50 miles. Obviously, there are more powerful vehicles that feature wheelchair lifts, but this is still a wonderful invention.
I'm sure there are other new inventions out there. If you hear of any, let me know. I'm always interested on ways to make the world a more accessible place for everyone.
Have a wonderful day!

Taking wheelchairs on the road is a tough job because you never know when the signal starts and ends. You cant high the speed of wheelchairs in the road suddenly.
As the mobility scooters for seniors are great kind of support equipment for the senior people, popularity of these products are increasing day by day.
