The good folks at HandyKey asked me this:

hehehehe. I don't know about getting rid of steering wheels and such, but 
I have driven a car while twiddling. I was filmed by Danish TV station 
TV2 Zulu in front of Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. They asked me 
to drive their rental car while using not only Twiddler2 but also the M1 
over one eye! I can't say its safe, but I can say it has been done (but 
don't tell my mother). All I did was drive around the circle in front of 
the museum. That footage was part of a new Danish TV series called 
Raketfart (translates to space travel) that began in february.

They sent me a VHS tape of the show, but I haven't looked at it yet. 
I also have tapes of some other TV stuff, one of those tapes shows me 
controlling my home, switching on the lights and TV, and moving cameras, 
while on the sidewalk in san francisco 60 miles away. I really want to 
digitize these tapes and create mpegs but I don't have the proper tools. 
I tried using a hauppage WinTV card but the results were poor. 
Hopefully I can get those tapes digitized soon so I can show you some 
of my wearable tricks.

PS. I'm not quite ready to ditch the steering wheel yet ... :)
