dual controls

Two steering wheels

Dual controls are a duplicate set of operating controls, especially in a vehicle, allowing either of two people to take command.

Most often used for driver training cars, where an instructor can brake or steer if a student makes a dangerous error: The driving school car has dual controls.

Also found in aircraft where pilot and copilot share control capability.
