Actually, there is a woman I see now and then who parks on our street, then gets into a wheelchair. I am very impressed with the thought that went into that wheelchair, which has detachable wheels; she can snap off and on the wheels easily, stow and take out all the parts by herself. The chair would not do for everybody, for it takes arm strength to operate, and someone with no leg strength at all might not be able to get in and and out of the car. But for its purpose, it is beautifully made.

Have I looked into the technology? No. It seems to me an elegant application of technologies I have some notion of.
