AI Controlled Wheelchair - Magic Mode (Beta) | Quadriplegic (C5,C6,C7)

Magic Mode is an AI-powered assistant designed by EchoTech for wheelchairs that simplifies navigation by automatically maneuvering the wheelchair around obstacles. This is just a proof of concept and is currently in beta testing. In this video, I take you with me to try out this wheelchair autopilot!

    Hmm, i dunno Mason. I had this wild thought...and call it a fear even...of an Ai controlled wheelchair like this someday strapping you in and doing 40MPH around target someday. Your arms flailing all around as you scream STOP!! But, it paying no attention. Every once in a while it stops and talks to some cute girl in a voice copying yours and makes suggestive statements and you screaming..that's not me!! The chair with you in it pulling up to a cashier and again..in your voice, telling them this is a holdup and give me all your money. Then, taking off out of the store, crashing into people and objects... yelling get the he** out of my way!! Getting you out to your AI controlled van, hauling you up the ramp and in it...and taking off courtesy of all Elon's technology. Don't discount this from happening !! The world of Ai is going to be a VERY different place indeed. 😂 ps: other than that..pretty cool chair and video. 🙂

      @masonx54 A lace? The trainers are a size bigger, so plenty of room for the laces. Stop assuming your skin will fall apart. I've done it this way since 1987, never an issue. I still sit on a Jay basic 2" cushion. No issues there either. You assume everything you do will cause sores, you end up with baby soft easily affected skin. Obviously be sore aware. Just don't make it an obsession. Red marks are just an indication to give that area a break.

    • @masonx54

    I had a friend in high school a lot like you in the early 1980s. He was honor student and athlete and this is when 3 wheelers were just coming out. He flipped it over a hill and become a quadriplegic. Also lost 3 good friends in drunk driving accidents. I'm glad you're doing so well now!

    I wear Nike flyease shoes because I have issues with the heel of a regular shoe, so I can easily zip open the back of the shoe and the heel isn't an issue. I've also figured out that in my opinion, buying shoes directly from Nike instead of an Amazon related company like Zappos make them last longer 🙂
