Issue Description - WCAG standard

https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/carousel/

If the carousel can automatically rotate, it also:

  • Has a button for stopping and restarting rotation. This is particularly important for supporting assistive technologies operating in a mode that does not move either keyboard focus or the mouse.

  • Stops rotating when keyboard focus enters the carousel. It does not restart unless the user explicitly requests it to do so.

  • Stops rotating whenever the mouse is hovering over the carousel.
