The very first cars (made by Daimler Benz) used tiller steering. How about this latest offering?

It would be so much easier cleaning the front floor. Back seat drivers (actually side seat drivers) would be nicely accomodated. Remembering how long it took me to get used to a mouse worries me but then I suppose one could limber up in one of those fun parlours. And another thought, on being pulled up by the constabulary, the first question to be asked would have to be "OK who was driving?" The bureaucrats will have orgasms over this idea!!!

Would be hard trying to throw that car through a series of sharp bends Bill. What would you hold onto?

I suspect putting the right amount of opposite lock to correct a slide will be a matter of luck rather than skill.

Not for this contributor!

The steering wheel will never be replaced simply because it is so simple.
