Wheelchair friendly car lets you roll right in

Sometimes, an invention makes so much sense that you have to wonder why somebody didn’t think of it before now.

Such is the case with the Kenguru, a car out of Hungary that has been designed with the disabled in mind. No more wasting precious time getting in and out of a traditionally manufactured automobiles with your wheelchair. With the Kenguru, you just open the back hatch and roll yourself right in.

You can lock your chair in place, pop the hatch shut, and off you go.

If it seems too easy to be totally functional, it is. This is rather a small vehicle, on the order of a Smart car but actually smaller, since it carries the driver and only a few of his or her things. It also uses a joystick to control its movements.
