Autonov 1

[1][2] A second steering wheel was introduced at the back, with a central revolving chair to effect the driver's switch-over position.

Its inventor, the late engineering professor Ayodele Awojobi, imagined the advantage of the invention in such a situation as when a motor vehicle drives forward into a cul-de-sac and needs to make a fast, backward retreat.

Essentially, the modification involves integrating a second steering wheel at the rear end of the jeep, connected to the axle.

Additionally, a gear-shift mechanism was installed, linking to the existing four gears, enabling the vehicle to be driven in both forward and reverse directions.

The central compartment of the jeep underwent redesigning, incorporating a rotating floor mechanism allowing occupants to swivel between the rear and front seats seamlessly.
