Check Out This Mechanism That Enables an Armless Man to Drive a Car
…he also does CAD work
Imagine if you had to design a driving interface for an end user with no arms. How would they steer? Obviously the mechanism must either be mouth- or foot-operated, but what would the physical action be?
Check out how Richie Parker, who was born with no arms, solved the problem with his sweet '64 Impala Super Sport:
Parker is an engineer for Hendricks Motorsports, an automotive engineering company that fields no less than four NASCAR teams and has five championships to their credit. In the video below, you'll see how Parker is able to do CAD work. Also, check out the ingenious contrivance that he's rigged up that allows him to eat with silverware:

I'd love to see how he did the steering in more detail. That's very clever. Amazing guy.
This guy is amazing. Such an inspiration. We live in the same small town, so I see him a lot out and about driving around town in his truck, at car shows, in the grocery store, etc. At first, I questioned a lot of things in my head, but then I came to realize that he's a living example that anything is possible. Where there's a will, there's a way. One of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
