India-Rose has cerebral palsy affecting all four limbs, but is otherwise a bright little girl, and expected eventually to walk with a walker or other assistance. Her mum is confident that once home, she'll be determined to learn to control her own car instead of relying on the buddy switch. Here she is with Hannah, just arrived at BMW head office, and about to meet her new car.
