Grandad walks in the shop - leaning on his shopping trolley. In the UK there are specialised trolleys (carts to you I think?) for people who usually walk with a cane or a walker. They are not motorised, but are designed to support people who cannot walk unaided. On a bad day Dad has to be with him every step of the way as Grandad's Parkinsons mean his shaking hand is likely to knock a shelf-load on the floor.
Dad uses a normal trolley, but even that means he doesn't have to use his cane while shopping - they do have a stabilising effect.
Again, I don't know how things are in the US - in the UK (at least in the supermarkets I use) every disabled space is either directly in front of the store, or is in a section where each space is adjacent to a paved pedestrian area - with a zebra crossing to the store. This means no matter which space a disabled driver parks in, they will not be walking/ wheeling/ motoring across the carpark.
No-one with a disability should have to worry about inattentive drivers.
