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

A Yemeni man has developed a self-driving car using scrap materials and simple electronic components, seeking to ease travel for people with disabilities and those wounded in the war.

Abdullah al-Qatwi took on the project in response to the major challenges these groups face in getting around and driving in Yemen.

Working with limited resources, he used basic electronics to develop a vehicle intended to address those mobility needs.

The available information does not detail how the car operates, the extent of its autonomous capabilities or whether it has undergone safety testing. The project nevertheless reflects a local effort to find a practical response to the transport difficulties facing people with disabilities.
