An image of a car's interior shows a specialized driving aid, often referred to as hand controls, installed near the steering wheel. The adaptation consists of a black, textured, cylindrical handle mounted on a metal rod that extends toward the floor, allowing a driver to control the acceleration and braking without using foot pedals. The hand control is positioned to the right of the steering column, and the car's ignition is visible just above the control.
