I'm no car guy at all, but even I can see the faults with the doors (driver gets wet when the passenger jumps in while it's raining), and with the steering wheel (imagine trying to do a hand-over hand turn without accidentally pressing one of the buttons!)
More car makers are better, and engineers should be allowed to have a bit of fun, but concept cars are almost laughable sometimes in their basic flaws.
- hot_gril 2y agoMaybe they wanted to "solve" the hand-over-hand turning problem with insanely quick-ratio steering
- PlunderBunny 2y agoTrue. I can understand the argument that a 'better' steering system would remove the need for hand-over-hand turning, but I have a hard time believing that people can adapt to a turning system that doesn't react in a liner proportion to the distance the 'wheel' moves. As a kid I played computer racing games that had proper 'proportional' turning of the steering wheel, but only if you used an analogue joystick. I used the keyboard, and suffered accordingly.
- hot_gril 2y agoYeah, it would be awful. A normal quick ratio steering setup will still turn around once. If turning the yoke 90˚ meant turning the wheels fully, it'd be really hard just to stay in your lane. Was already annoying enough in my ex cop car.
