I'll want to see this in action. I expect it works as advertised, but the edge cases seem numerous. - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 28, 07:32 3
- Here's a good image of the steering wheel, showing the two scroll wheels and touch controls. - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 28, 07:37
- It's "wouldn't this be cool" engineering vs "solves a problem" engineering. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 07:35 1
  - I guess it depends how close FSD is to full release. Once FSD works/is approved, the steering wheel itself is superfluous. -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 28, 07:39

  - Car go forward, car go backward, car no go. This is frustrating some people? - Reagen Jan 28, 07:26 4

      - I love that stupid joke. My latest is that my daughter loses all her arguments because she doesn't have a leg to stand on. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 07:31
