The popemobile is a specially designed motor vehicle used by the pope of the Catholic Church during public appearances. It is considered a successor to the sedia gestatoria and was designed to allow the pope to be more visible when greeting large crowds. Despite Pope Francis' disdain for the name, "the popemobile" is still largely used.
