Has anyone tried the self-driving Whill wheelchairs at SEA TAC yet and want to share? Or know anything about them? It’s been fun to watch people ride around every time I pass through. As I was typing this, one just rolled past me by itself! Video description: No audio in video. Seattle airport and a white smart wheelchair rolls by Tiffany, on its own and no one sitting in it, with people walking around it. Link to article about pilot in comments.

CSUN 2025 was such an amazing conference. My heart is soooo full. Like many of us, I showed up with a heavy heart thinking about the state of accessibility funding. I left feeling loved and part of a large group committed to inclusive accessibility. ???? There are too many names to list. If I missed you, let’s meet up for a virtual coffee. Until next year: much love and peace to you as you push forward in changing access. ?? Full ID and tags: CSUN Conference room setting.
