Lincoln replacing the steering wheel

[turkeydance]

well, it is a concept car, and it is not the first to try it.

quote:

An interactive, center console chessboard features a jewel-inspired chess piece controller that captures light and depth
by redefining the vehicle controls inside the cabin. The controller replaces the traditional steering wheel.....

The perfect answer to a question nobody asked.

I have a feeling "chess" piece controller wouldnt cut it up here in the mountains. We got enough tourists driving off mountains with steering wheels.

Better idea would be a seat shocker when folks drive like a maniac.

"making the vehicle experience intuitive and effortless."

Maybe for a generation that plays video games 20 hours a day, but not for us old guys who have been driving with steering wheels for 50+ years. 🤬

I don't know why but this reminded me of an observation I have made. When you're at an intersection watch women drivers particularly when they are making a left turn through the intersection. They lean as they make the turn, probably 90% of them. Men don't do it.

They should do what all the defence companies are doing and just use Xbox and Playstation controllers.

They're instantly familiar to most line-age personnel, have a ton of buttons and options and are easy to source.

Lincoln? Still making cars?

 

[HMP]

It's a concept that will never happen. Meh.
