For aging adults, losing the ability to drive often means losing a vital source of independence. As autonomous vehicle technology continues advancing alongside a rapidly growing elderly population, Manta works to address long-standing accessibility challenges in automotive design. It focuses on improving the experience of entering, exiting, and interacting with vehicles for those with limited joint mobility. At the same time, it introduces new features that support a wider range of physical abilities.
