Self Driving Wheelchairs

Tokyo Haneda International Airport is to become the first airport to deploy self-driving wheelchairs from Japanese company WHILL.

Passengers departing from Terminal 1 who have difficulty walking long-distances and those with limited mobility can use the wheelchairs to get to Gates 3 through 7.

Once they reach the gate, the passengers alights and the device self-drives back to its base ready for the next passenger.

The wheelchairs have an autonomous driving, anti-collision function. The self-driving works by layering its surrounding information detected by sensors with map information about the area collected in advance.

Tokyo Haneda Airport to introduce WHILL self-driving wheelchairs

Isn’t it wonderful for such steps to help those that need assistance and be efficient about it too. For a Christian, we have wonderful assistance and guidance to get where we need to be via the Word of God! Wisdom is given and guidance for doing God’s will as well as the path to eternal salvation!! Wouldn’t you like to be assisted that way?
