- schoen 9y agoSomeone has tried making a bicycle that steers the other way as a psychology experiment: https://ed.ted.com/featured/bf2mRAfC https://ed.ted.com/featured/bf2mRAfC
- tetha 9y agoI didn't even know this. And it just adds to the example, especially because the boat part is flat out incomplete, with steering wheels behaving either way, and straight rudders, and motor / rotor control so you don't need to use the wheel to park a motor boat. The more you look into this example, the more complicated and confusing it becomes.
