Coolest car for disabled


While many cars can be adapted for disabled drivers, few, if any, have actually been designed with them in mind. The Kenguru takes a step toward remedying this. The electric mini-car, designed in Hungary, has no front seat; a hatchback opens, allowing the driver to roll his/her wheelchair into driving position. The car is controlled by joystick but tops out at around 25 mph, meaning driving will be restricted to surface streets. The vehicle is available in Hungary for $12,500 but is free with healthcare if an individual qualifies. Full story.
