Automatic transmission with one foot control
A one-foot-steer automatic transmission is a type of transmission system that allows the driver to operate a vehicle using only one foot. It is intended for drivers with limited mobility or a leg amputation.
How does this work:
* Instead of a traditional accelerator pedal, a steering wheel control lever is used.
* This lever controls the throttle position, regulating the speed of the vehicle.
* The lever usually has two buttons or switches: one for acceleration and the other for deceleration.
* The brake is operated using the traditional brake pedal with the other foot.
Advantages:
* Increased mobility for drivers with disabilities.
* The ability to drive a car with one foot, freeing the other for other functions.
* Increased safety by eliminating distractions that can occur when manually shifting gears.
* More comfortable and relaxed driving experience.
Flaws:
* It may take some time to get used to the single leg control system.
*May not be suitable for drivers who have significant limitations in leg movement.
*Higher cost than standard automatic transmissions.

Conclusion:
The automatic transmission with one-foot operation is an effective solution for drivers with limited mobility or leg amputations. It provides increased mobility, safety and driving comfort.
