It's the Star Trek deck minus Dr Spock. The Nissan Terranaut concept is graced with design features reminiscent of
aeronautics, rather than your run off the mill R.V. The interior is more like a station desk rather than a passenger vehicle. With an opaque and transparent roof, the Terranaut focuses on the details that set it in a class of its own. Warning: This is not a vehicle for soccer moms, this is serious! by Bill T

Style has rarely been a priority in industrial design for the disabled - until now that is. Designed in Hungary, the Kenguru is a car specially designed for wheelchair users. The car's interior space has no front seat, just a space built to house the drivers own wheelchair so all he/she has to do is simply roll in through the extra large car doors and into position. The wheelchair locks into place, within easy reach of the car's controls which are centred around a joystick. It's light years away from the current options for disabled drivers, which involve having to hoist themselves into the driver's seat of standard cars. by Bill T
