When you try to paint this as a beta of a marketable vehicle, yeah, it doesn't make much sense. However, this seems much closer to the long history of automotive concept cars, which have traditionally been impractical and designed to definitively show off certain features that may or may not make it to the final cut. By building a vehicle from the ground up without a steering wheel, they're much more readily able to get people asking the questions as to what's really needed in a car of the future.
