Laser-guided Wheelchair is A Definitie Proof of the Future

Maybe in the future, we’ll have flying cars and computers that drive our ride without any assistance at all. Maybe we’ll get to travel the farthest reaches of outer space in no time at all. Maybe we’ll reach that point soon or maybe not at all. But here’s proof that the future is slowly creeping into our cars and slowly assimilating our society from within.

Some guys from Lehigh University and Freedom Sciences have invented a laser-guided wheelchair that you can control and dock from your own vehicle. Although it’s sill in its early stages of development, this invention s already showing a lot of promise. This laser-guided wheelchair can be controlled from the car although it is not entirely automated at this time. It uses an on-board LIDAR system and loads itself into a vehicle by itself.

If you’re interested in this invention, you’ll have to wait a long time before it’s ready for a public release. Along with the time you have to wait, you might also need to shell out $30, 000 to have this laser-guided wheelchair inside your car.
