Self-driving wheelchairs

1. 5

   Regulator-cleared or mass market

   A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.

   Placed by: Haneda grew its fleet to 37 self-driving wheelchairs across the domestic areas of Terminals 1 and 2. WHILL says the airport handles about 10,000 rides a month (1 Sept 2026); Singapore's Changi Airport began full use of the service, with up to 18 self-driving wheelchairs to be added in stages in Terminals 2 and 3. It is WHILL's largest airport rollout so far (31 Aug 2026).

What we couldn't confirm. Almost every fact is from WHILL's own releases or articles repeating them; ride and airport counts are company figures. LUCI is a driver-assist add-on, not a fully self-driving chair; its current status and insurance coverage were not confirmed. No safety incidents were found, but none were searched for in depth.
