I'll want to see this in action. I expect it works as advertised, but the edge cases seem numerous.

It's a step toward FSD where the car won't even accept human direction beyond inputting a destination.

The thing on the S redesign that bugs me (ahain, might work in practice) is the turn signal controls are both on the left near the scroll wheel and are not buttons but sensors.

Also, I don't like yoke steering wheels.

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
