People with most disabilities can’t have driver license. But they have powered wheelchairs.

That’s a couple of bad assumptions right there but let’s put aside your narrow conception of what disabled means, you’re still OK with fucking over some disabled people.

There are disability adapted bikes that cover a wide range of physical disabilities (I’ve seen up to even only a single arm and head movements). I’m curious what disabilities would actually require exclusively a car for transportation and for which custom bikes wouldn’t be enough, do you know of any ?

Everyone who does not have two good eyes, two arms and at least one leg can’t legaly obtain driver’s licese. Meanwhile powered wheelchair does not have such restrictions. Even person with one working muscle can drive powered wheelchair.

That’s a subset of disabled people & people without the use of legs or a arm can drive they just need a vehicle with special controls.powered wheelchairs don’t fulfill all travel needs.
