The Tesla Plaid yoke (Page 1/2)

Found the yoke (steering wheel) interesting and wondering if this is the future of the steering wheel.




Would you install this style or similar yoke in a Fiero?

My personal opinion (Worth 1.98 cents) is that all of these square and other shaped wheels are not the safest.....If you happen to reach to adjust the mirror/radio/vent/etc and catch a corner.......Spin/wham...(Take your pick)

...only if you could turn lock-to-lock with a +/- 90° turn of the yoke from horizontal (straight ahead).

This one will probably it.

Yokes are for shoe cars not real cars to drive unless you are in a formula car or Indy car where the ratio is very high.

Australian, NICE KIT reference!

I dont get why we'd want non-round ones. To see the screen better? Huge bellies?

Reminds me of gaming and emulators as the turning circle of a sega rally machine vs a simulator. With the game you could probably use a wheel like this but with a real 360 turning circle your going to die in the simulator as run out of wheel to grab hold of and end up crossing arms and letting go of wheel same applies to real driving.

Has anyone every used a non-circular wheel to do a U-turn or other maneuver like that? Seems like it would kinda NOT be a fun experience...?

Similar problems to the old suicide knobs.

Exactly what I was thinking.
