So I guess this is the new steering wheel they sell instead of the yoke. This thing looks cheap as poo poo.



Why the gently caress would you ever put the turn signals on the wheel itself?

Because you're so concerned with making something different--without any regard to industry standards, why your different ideas might be missing something important, or why it's a bad thing when basic safety functionality is obscured--that you end up literally reinventing the wheel (but worse)

Elon Musk's ideas are basically a first draft without any deep thought put into it (why is a yoke bad for a car, touchscreen controls, hidden door handles, etc.), and if he was surrounded by non-sychophants, these would get rejected and replaced, as happened with PayPal and X.com in the 90s where they shut down all of his input and forced him out of the company and in all liklihood succeeded in spite of him.

But since he's surrounded by grovelling servants that get fired when they talk back, his ideas go straight to production.

In other words, he's the George Lucas of industrial design

I think the cybertruck thing kind if demonstrates what happens alot is elon lays down just the dumbest, least feasible ground rules and his staff have to work within these new constraints or risk termination if you point out "hey this actually wont work"

absolutely, you can already see in the new demo version they have out how they have abandoned a ton of the original concepts because it just can't work with a modern vehicle. any time that thing crashed into something heavier than itself the occupants would be horrendously injured/killed

He's saying put a touchscreen in the steering wheel, not steer by touch. You already have tons of buttons on steering wheels.

he already gets to the existing issue, how would you safely deploy an airbag without launching the screen at the user, in the same post he's making the point in tho. like, that's when you should go "ah, right" and then delete it, not send it!

ideally you'd eliminate the screen in the steering wheel altogether and instead use the tesla's Smart Windows and Windshield to create AR game objectives on the road while you're driving

Obviously you can't have a full touch screen on the wheel because of the airbag. So you'll have to shrink the screen small enough to put it on the sides of the wheel. But then you have a small screen too small to make out or select the functionality, so just have multiple tiny small touch screens that each control only a single, fixed function. And make sure it has haptic feedback so you know when you pressed it

a touch screen ON the wheel is out of the question. but what about a touchscreen... that IS the wheel!!!
