Must be blue tooth enabled so you can easily pass the wheel to a passenger so they can help steer while you take nap.

This is a surprisingly common recall. Ford: https://www.endurancewarranty.com/learning-center/news/ford-recalls-million-steering-wheels/ https://www.endurancewarranty.com/learning-center/news/ford-... Nissan: https://insideevs.com/news/656231/2023-nissan-ariya-recalled-over-steering-wheel-that-might-detach/ https://insideevs.com/news/656231/2023-nissan-ariya-recalled... But it's only news when it happens to Tesla.

  Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't both of these links about proactive recalls to address something that may happen, whereas the Tesla news is more about pictures of wheels having already fallen off resulting in NHTSA investigation? [1] > Tesla quoted the vehicle owner $103.96 to repair the defect before removing the charge. These seem like different classes of problems to me. There's also I think a large difference between "the bolts meant to keep the steering wheel to the column in the car get loose" and "the brand-new vehicles were delivered without a necessary retaining bolt to attach the steering wheel to the column" [1]: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/8/23630358/tesla-steering-wheel-bolt-nhtsa-model-y https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/8/23630358/tesla-steering-wh...

Should have a super emergency mode that shows tactile controls on the screen and allows for steering and stoppage of the car...
