Here comes a few pictures of the actual steering wheel. ?
Actually they probably have. Tesla did it wrong. Lexus has done it better. Tesla did it as a gimmick. Lexus has done it so drivers don't kill themselves driving a 400hp car for the first time.Oh dear, not another manufacturer trying to use a yoke. Do they never learn?
Apparently the yoke wheel isn't making it into production and that should be seen as a good thing. Tesla introduced a yoke and in their implementation, the yoke is attached to the steering column and turning is just clumsy and annoying. Lexus had a more interesting take where the yoke was a steer-by-wire and you never had to turn the yoke more than 90 degrees either direction. The problem with steer-by-wire is there is no positive feedback and there is also a delay between turning the yoke and the wheels responding. Either way, just a bad idea.
Hi! Where did you find a steering wheel like this? I just bought an MG Cyberster from China and I'm wondering if I should replace the steering wheel with this one.Here comes a few pictures of the actual steering wheel. ?
There is no measurable delay on a state-of-the-art steer-by-wire system. The actuators operate instantaneously. Modern active suspension systems use a similar technology. Similar problems were solved by the aviation industry many years ago. Force-feedback is also provided by Toyota's system. These technologies are required as we move slowly towards autonomous vehicles.Apparently the yoke wheel isn't making it into production and that should be seen as a good thing.
