Yemeni Develops Self-Driving Car From Scrap to Help People With Disabilities

A Yemeni man has developed a self-driving car using scrap and simple electronic components, seeking to address the difficulties faced by people with disabilities and those injured in the country’s war.

Abdullah al-Qatwi pursued the project with limited resources. His effort was driven by the challenges that can make both travel and driving difficult for those with mobility needs.

The vehicle is intended to offer a way for people who struggle to drive to get around more independently. Its development puts accessibility at the centre of a locally conceived project.

The available information does not detail how the car navigates, what testing it has undergone or whether it is ready for use on public roads.

Al-Qatwi’s initiative reflects an attempt to use modest materials to tackle a pressing everyday problem, though the vehicle’s practical capabilities remain unclear.
