[0002] The disabled can share the material civilization achievements brought by social progress, which is an important symbol of social civilization progress. And the disabled can drive an automobile is one of the important symbols of social civilization progress.

[0003] In the 1950s, Germany, Japan, the United States and other countries took the lead in developing the technology of driving an automobile for the disabled. China issued relevant regulations in 2010 to enable the disabled to legally drive an automobile. The special equipment for the disabled to drive an automobile (professional name: driving an automobile auxiliary device for the disabled) in China is based on the national conditions and uses the relatively low-cost installation method.

[0004] With the popularization of various types of disabled people driving an automobile in China (data shows that there are nearly 500,000 disabled drivers in the country); how to solve the problem of one-armed disabled people driving an automobile is particularly prominent. From the perspective of operating an automobile, whether it is the left arm or the right arm that is missing, the three main functions of operating and driving an automobile can be completed: namely, acceleration, braking and steering.

[0005] However, due to the auxiliary function of one-armed disabled people operating and driving an automobile: namely, light control (missing the left arm) and windshield wiper control (missing the right arm), there are obstacles, so in a strict sense, although they can complete the main functions of driving, they cannot complete the standard light control (missing the left arm) on the functional structure of the existing automobile, such as light switch, steering prompt, high beam and low beam switching, etc., or the control of the windshield wiper (missing the right arm).
