It all started with a post shared by X user Massimo. “When a disabled user is ready to leave their car, this tech solution will bring their wheelchair to them. In between, it is safely stored in the weatherproof rooftop box. It's a great solution for independent drivers as well as passengers,” the user wrote.

How did X users react to this car-related post?

“Correct, but what can be done is that while designing a new vehicle such considerations should be made and when a request for such setup is made OEM should be able to fit that without much effort. Having said that, I know it's easier said than done !” wrote an X user. “Userful design,” added another. “It’s a brilliant idea,” posted a third.
