[+] Durandal@lemmy.today -25 points 2 years ago (4 children) Ever seen what real life F1 car steering “wheels” look like? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] unrelatedkeg@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 2 years ago (1 child) They aren't meant for public roads, just like Teslas. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Durandal@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I think that’s why Tesla designed it this way. They were relying too much on self driving and not a human driving it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mundane@feddit.nu 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anlumo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Couldn’t the sensitivity be adjusted based on the speed? Doing a hard turn during high speed is a very bad idea anyways. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mundane@feddit.nu 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) Yes it could and that is what Lexus is doing. https://youtu.be/agMrewRJTow?si=_M55DbNd3I4uUvMu 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] anlumo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 1 point 2 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/agMrewRJTow?si=_M55DbNd3I4uUvMu Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Yeah those “wheels” look horrible. But I guess they are professional drivers. And all those buttons and knobs!!? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Durandal@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years 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. permalink fedilink source parent
