The flow flat sliding wheel chair ramp allows easy and efficient access for the disabled and those confined to a wheel chair. A few of the of ingenious concepts of the car include a hydrogen fuel-cell and two low-lying battery banks which work together sending power to the four wheels (each has an electric motor) by generators. The roof the the car also includes a solar panel to help keep the charge. “Boomerang Hubs” are being developed for the taxis to quickly recharge.
