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.
Comment on Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals
Durandal@lemmy.today 5 months agoEver seen what real life F1 car steering “wheels” look like?

Couldn’t the sensitivity be adjusted based on the speed? Doing a hard turn during high speed is a very bad idea anyways.
mundane@feddit.nu 5 months ago
Yes it could and that is what Lexus is doing.

But Tesla is not doing that, so there you still have to turn hand over hand even though you don’t have a round wheel.

I figured that it already exists, it’s not like that’s rocket science. Tesla not doing the obviously right thing is also not surprising.

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!!?
Durandal@lemmy.today 5 months ago
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.

They aren’t meant for public roads, just like Teslas.
Durandal@lemmy.today 5 months ago
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.
