^^ yeah the F1 wheel/yoke is much more direct steering the wheels, and can’t rotate all the way around or anything.

God drat that is horrible that poo poo is even allowed to be used on public streets. The stupid rear end yoke wheel just sawing back and forth while going down a quiet street with nothing in front, that is loving garbage.

think he's saying you just need to mass produce a shitload of teslas to get them out on the street as quick as possible so the AI self-driving system can do an open beta test on public roads to actually get enough data to function properly

Lexus has a car with a yoke now, but the steering is an electronic drive-by-wire motor that varies the steering ratio based on speed and stuff. You will never be going 900 degrees lock-to-lock.
A yoke on a traditional rack-and-pinion is purely dangerous and nothing more.

I'm pretty sure they are legally selling it as just enhanced cruise control, but marketing it as a self-driving car. law goons could probably explain the actual distinction better

California recently passed a law to deal with this distinction

quote:

Senate Bill 1398 is among the hundreds of new state laws taking effect in 2023 and specifically targets the electric-car maker's marketing of software included in some Tesla models that imply that the car can fully drive itself — which it can't.

The new law, sponsored by Democratic State Sen. Lena Gonzalez of Long Beach, prohibits California dealers and manufacturers from "deceptively naming or marketing" a car as self-driving if it's only equipped with partial automation features that still require human drivers to pay attention and handle driving.

[...]

Tesla, owned by Elon Musk, lobbied against the bill, arguing that it already makes Tesla buyers aware of the Full Self-Driving software's limitations.
