Well hopefully by the time it's released we won't need a steering wheel to use very often. FSD
I do not think a joy stick will make driving easier......it would in my opinion make the driving experience more difficult and dangerous......I was a military pilot for over 18 areas and I can tell you just a small amount of deflection or movement will make things go crazy......imagine a driver trying to use a joy stick to go through a small passage way with vehicles on either side....too much room for error......and I would like to see how off-roaders will be using it when trying to go over high rocks and really 4-wheeling it......nope, its a round wheel with a flat bottom for meA 'Joystick" would make driving so much easier: Forward/Reverse with speed and braking and then simply left/right. Have it easily moveable to use either with left or right hand as conditions or long distance relief may suggest.
Using my left hand on an airplane yoke was no problem when I was learning to fly.I’m in the whole steering wheel camp but this would be cool. Only problem is most people would have a hard time learning to use their left hand or opposite for a lefty depending on the side it’s installed.
My concern with the yoke is that turning it more than 90 degrees is awkward.I doubt that it will come with a yoke. From what I am told the M3 (or Y) prototype had a yoke as well. If it is to be I will dig it. People are just so resistant to change.
I thought a mechanical steering linkage was legally required by the FMVSS?The internet seems to think the model 3 has mechanical linkage but that doesn't mean future vehicles will have it. It is not a requirement.
Nissan Q50 has a steer by wire. It has a back up mechanical linkage that supposed to engage if there is a failure.... I don't know if the back up system is required.... I do know some models use drive by wire.I thought a mechanical steering linkage was legally required by the FMVSS?
