A wheelchair-bound man in Spain has been caught on camera weaving in and out of Barcelona traffic and moving faster than surrounding vehicles. The street racer was cruising along Barcelona's busy Carrer de Muntaner when a motorcycle passenger took the video.

It is worth noting that the market is now offering solutions to wheelchair users wanting to attain surprisingly high speeds. A road-touring adaptor comes in three versions – city (70km/h), highway (90km/h) and freeway (120km/h). Perhaps road builders will in the near future have to design in dedicated wheelchair lanes.

    One of the applications for LIDAR is to make high resolution 3-D maps. Self-driving cars are pre-loaded with a LIDAR map of the trials area in which they are permitted to fully self-drive themselves. The cars also have their own LIDAR scanner which captures a real-time LIDAR view of the vehicle’s surroundings. The fully autonomous driving system within these prototype cars compares the real-time LIDAR view against the pre-loaded LIDAR map to significantly increase the accuracy of their self-positioning
