Conceptual study of the problem

A study of the problems has been raised, and it has consequently led to an investigation not only of the existing vehicles in the market, but also of the solutions offered to try to solve the needs of these users. This way, the space inside the vehicle is learned and studied and how the existing adjustments interact with it and the main controllers of the vehicle.
