    It seems like a lot of references to “developed” but really it’s just “designed”.

    Does one actual unit exist right now, or is this just a thought piece?

    The limited pictures (many just renderings?) make it look like it isn’t collapsible? And as @aplummer mentioned the lack of real world photos makes it seem designed vs actually made..

    Probably, a couple of pounds saved is not important given the weight of a person on that wheelchair.
