Let's have some imagination in our innovation. A self-driving car company announces a highway roadable but sidewalk-capable wheelchair.

Even leaving off the highway roadable part, a self-driving chair would be *great*.

@metaforgotten maybe a health insurance co would pay full coverage for a smart wheelchair -

@starsandrobots IMO, the winner would be an open chair: coverable by insurance b/c 'medically necessary' 1/ -

@starsandrobots but expandable aftermarket. Private pay, or lobby for specific expansions to be covered. -
The tech is tractable, but ... getting Center for Medicare/caid Svcs & private insurance to cover is really tough.
