I just meant the yoke -- variable ratio steering would still work with a wheel, right?
I'm skeptical but I can see the potential benefits of drive-by-wire, definitely. The yoke, nope (except maybe for racing drivers).
- gambiting 3y agoOh I guess it's just that once you elimited the need to ever turn the steering device more than 90 degrees, it doesn't need to be a wheel anymore - same reason why bicycles don't have steering wheels but handlebars.
- kllrnohj 3y agoThe yoke is to make visibility of the dashboard better. You can deal with rectangular screens easily then instead of needing to force things into a curve. Not necessarily a good enough reason, but it's not entirely frivolous.
