        Oh absolutely not. Just mentioning it in reference to the way the KITT yoke looks.

        TBF KITT could self drive just fine so he didn’t need a very functional “wheel” heh.

          I think that’s why Tesla designed it this way. They were relying too much on self driving and not a human driving it.

      Those are way more sensitive so there is no need to turn hand over hand. The downside is that that sensitivity can be really hard to handle at high speeds.

        Couldn’t the sensitivity be adjusted based on the speed? Doing a hard turn during high speed is a very bad idea anyways.

      You mean those extremely dangerous, highly specialized cars that require a trained athlete to drive?

      Not sure why you got down voted so much. Yeah those “wheels” look horrible. But I guess they are professional drivers. And all those buttons and knobs!!?

        Likely assumed I was defending the musk mobile rather than just making conversation. I spose I should have been more explicit.

        F1 racing is a way different type of driving than “normal” driving. Less need for lots of turning the wheel quickly and more need for controlling car features.
