VW Inclusive Mobility: Technology that will take care of everyone - Ultimate Guide

Volkswagen has opted to work to ensure that the new generation of "mobility" does not leave anyone without access to it.

The automobile manufacturer, Volkswagen, has revealed its recent VW Inclusive Mobility Initiative project. This focuses on VW working directly with external groups so that their vehicles built in the future are able to ensure the care of people with disabilities.

Carol Tyson, government affairs liaison for disabled Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF), said during a statement that "Much has been said about what autonomous vehicles will provide, but for that potential to be realized, manufacturers of Cars should involve the disabled community directly in the design and functionality of these vehicles. " "That's why we are so excited to work with the Volkswagen Group from the start." For the first time, a car manufacturer has brought people together to begin addressing the myriad of design, technical, safety and equity challenges that They must be overcome. "

DREDF has not been the only one interested in working with VW Inclusive Mobility, since it is also working with the National Federation for the Blind, the National Association of the Deaf as well as other groups.

Currently the process is at an early stage since it is only interviewed by experts and users. However, it is these conversations that will lead directly to the design and construction of the Volkswagen Group.

On the other hand, VW ensures that all this work together with external groups goes beyond just the development of products. Recently, the vehicle manufacturer, during a meeting, focused on "the need to create global safety standards for securing wheelchairs in autonomous vehicles". For this approach autonomous vehicles with high roof and large doors, currently seen as concepts (for example the Sedric), will end up being very relevant for people in wheelchairs who may have problems when trying to get on a vehicle with more design conventional.

This new initiative of VW Inclusive Mobility that Volkswagen is carrying out, could mean or even mark a very significant point future generations of the design of cars and the importance of these for society.
