Daily driver?  Dick, this car does not have brakes!  Literally.  Look at the
interior picture (second from left).  There is only one pedal there.  Or may be
that's the brakes pedal, and the car does not have a throttle.  May be its
throttle by wire, and there is a connector that plugs into the driver's brain.

OK, that's 1954, may be not :)
