It's amazing to see how modern conversions work - I'm seriously impressed. One of my family members has muscular dystrophy, which affects her ability to use and feel her legs. She can still walk very slowly, but she has an adapted car with hand controls. I thought I'd describe it, for those interested in the spectrum of car adaptation. Her car is a standard mid-size automatic compact, with no adaptations other than a push-pull accelerator/brake hand control. Unlike Nicola's car above, it doesn't have an electronic bypass for the hand controls - they're completely mechanical, with an ingenious system of sliding linkages connecting the hand lever to the pedals. The sliding links are what allows a pull on the hand lever to push the accelerator without simultaneously pulling on the brake pedal (which would obviously stop the hand lever from moving). They also allow the pedals to be used without the hand control moving, so it's easy for me to swap in to drive the car on long distance trips.
