That's great that the hand controls work for you, but it is not
enough for other people.  I was at an auto show last year, and they
had a display of a van that had the hand control, the lift, etc.
It was designed by somebody whose daughter got in a car accident (I
think) and was disabled.  However those things are pretty
expensive, so unless you are really rich or have a good insurance
settlement you cannot afford it.
