A wheelchair having a speed and direction control touchpad. The touchpad comprises
two separated semi-conductive film layers, one measuring an X coordinate and one
measuring a Y coordinate. When pressure is applied to the layers bringing them
into contact with each other, an X, Y coordinate location is produced and the wheelchair
is moved in a direction and speed analagous to the location of the pressure applied
to the touchpad. A change in location of the pressure will result in a corresponding
change in direction and speed. The touchpad also has a neutral or no movement activation point.
