There are plenty of people driving those little electric scooters / wheelchairs (Rascals?) these days, and as our fat friends get older, there are only going to be more of them. Seems the only arduous moment for them is transferring from the seat in the car to the seat in the wheelchair... what if it
was the same seat?
Now I've seen plenty of alternatives from loading ramps that pick up the wheelchair, ramps that flip down but require to human power to get up them, kneeling cars, etc... the exact method of getting into the car is going to be a matter of money and preference.
Anyways, it would seem to behoove the car manufacturers (or at perhaps the scooter company to do conversions of certain model cars, like limo conversions) to offer a mobility chair that integrates with their car, perhaps going beyond matching the style of the seats and charging it but allow your car to sense you nearby, have your mp3s play on your chair, stop syncing with Bluetooth, pass along gps data to your wheelchair, etc.
Heck, at that point I might get an electric chair just to be lazy myself.

It exists, it's called a carchair. |

Yes and no. The C5 was a flimsy, low profile low-visibility deathtrap, designed to bring the occupant into prompt and violent contact with other, more substantially constructed, road vehicles (such as skateboards), thus ensuring loss of limbs, paraplegia, and serious internal injuries. |
