Elon Musk thinks this Toyota tech would make Tesla's yoke steering wheel 'ideal'
Fox News
Elon Musk said Tesla's unusual yoke-style steering wheel would be better if it used steer-by-wire technology that limited how far it needs to be turned. Toyota is launching that exact system in a new electric car going on sale next year.
The rectangular interface is being incorporated into Tesla's latest models to offer an unobstructed view of the instrument cluster, according to Musk, and hearkens the brand's future autonomous driving capability. However, videos have shown it can be awkward to use in situations that involve turning it more than 180 degrees, as when negotiating tight turns and parallel parking.
Nevertheless, Musk said it passed his "acid test" of using it for two weeks, after which he didn't want to go back to a circular wheel.
One Twitter follower asked, "would you say it's true for most city and highway driving... But, wheel is sharper/better if you live/commute on twisty mountain roads?"
