käsijuhtimiselt

käsijuhtimiselt is an Estonian term that translates to "manually operated" or "hand-controlled." It describes a system or device that is operated by direct human intervention rather than by automated processes or remote controls. This can apply to a wide range of objects and mechanisms, from simple tools to complex machinery.

In the context of vehicles, käsijuhtimiselt refers to a driving method where the driver directly manipulates the controls such as the steering wheel, accelerator, and brakes. This is the standard way of driving most cars, as opposed to autonomous driving systems. For individuals with physical disabilities that affect their lower limbs, specialized hand controls can be fitted to a vehicle to allow them to operate it manually using their hands.

The term can also be used in industrial settings to describe machinery that requires a human operator to initiate, guide, or stop its operation. This contrasts with automated production lines where machines perform tasks without constant human supervision. In everyday life, many common items like manual transmissions in cars, hand-cranked appliances, or even simply turning a faucet on and off are examples of käsijuhtimiselt actions. The core concept is that human physical input is the primary means of control.
