So the advantage is...better look to the interior since there is no steering column? How is that worth it?

  Well, in a frontal collision you're basically sitting in front of a battering ram pointed at your chest. Removing that might contribute to a reduction in driver deaths in frontal collisions, even though it doesn't seem like a motivator.

    Only if you arent wearing a seatbelt. If a driver isnt going to bother to buckle up, then their death is on them imho.

Steering columns collapse on impact (takes very litte force) and this has been the case since.. I don't know, but a very long time. If you drive a car from the 50s or 60s you probably need to worry about this.
