“Driving technique is the way of using the road consciously chosen by the driver. The key to appropriate driving technique is the driver's knowledge, skills and characteristics.” [1] The above-mentioned skills refer only to the manner of using the vehicle by an able-bodied driver (driver candidate and full-fledged driver). The techniques used by the vehicle driver affect the possibility of making mistakes while driving and the time needed to perform manoeuvres. Generally accepted driving standards and principles do not cover how to drive a vehicle adapted to the needs of a disabled driver. These skills are therefore not developed during the course preparing candidates with disabilities to become drivers, or at a later stage after obtaining driving licenses. The aim of the article is to present ways of driving a vehicle using the most common adaptive devices used by people with mobility disabilities. The research used the case study method, i.e. a case study involving the analysis and discussion of real situations [2]. The lack of information relating to driving techniques adapted to the needs of drivers with disabilities is a gap that should be filled. The study describes the processes relating to driving techniques of a vehicle with the most commonly used adaptation sets.

To the continuous development of technology, more and more opportunities are opened in issues related to the mobility of people with disabilities. One of the problems among these drivers is the relatively fast fatigue caused by driving. The basic solution is of course the optimization of adaptive devices in terms of ergonomics. At the same time, a new technological trend is emerging in the form of autonomous cars. There is therefore the possibility of partially relieving drivers with physical disabilities. People susceptible to fast fatigue at the wheel, they will be able to rest periodically, thanks to the support of driving the car by autonomous driving. This article focuses on combining the types of motor dysfunctions with the available autonomous driving capabilities. Applications are based on tests carried out at the Motor Transport Institute in cooperation with Tesla Warszawa. The autonomous functions will be described on the basis of the possibilities offered on Tesla cars, with the autopilot of the 2nd generation, with software version 9.0. It seems that at the current level one can talk about significant help in driving a car that improves the mobility conditions of people with motor dysfunctions. In the light of this observation, also the estimation regarding the usefulness of future solutions seems to be unequivocally decided to support the legitimacy of the development of autonomous driving technology.
