There is literally air between the steering wheel and the rest of the car in the Canoo, as well as significantly more front leg room - its nothing like the VW, which has an almighty big steering column between the drivers legs. Unless of course ZF and the rest of the car industry are also wrong about it taking less room to package and permitting new designs? If you have seen a column - congratulations, you will then know it needs room to route to the wheels, and is restricted in the paths it can take to get there quite significantly, vs of course plain ole wires that can snake any way you like. Those restrictions are exactly why your VW vans have a column between the drivers legs. This is getting genuinely funny now, however I think I'm about done with this one. Enjoy the rest of your day.

… have you not seen the inside of a Volkswagen (or any other rear/mid engine) van/bus?
