One thing I will never understand is why most car steering wheels feel shoddy. So many of them have random bulky plastic in all the wrong places, and now increasingly we see non-round shapes that are uncomfortable AND will block your view of the gauge cluster half the time. Steering wheel ergonomics are simple: Just follow the example of a basic bitch round racing/rally wheel, they all feel good and would be ideal for daily driving. Before some retard chimes in, I'm talking about the rim. Yes, the inner part would obviously have to contain airbags and buttons and whatnot, but as for the rim shape, every designed who doesn't just imitate something like this deserves to have all his teeth torn out one-by-one.
>>29121116you're correct. tesla is the only automaker that got it right.
>>29121116>eparcoThat's why you get a proper wheel.
lemme guess, you need more
>>29121235why aren't one spoke wheels more common? they look amazing, especially compared to the weird squround bullshit that is cropping up these days
>>29121282Safety and crash regs. If you get into a wreck while holding the unsupported side, it will absolutely fold, and your fists will be inside the gauge cluster when the airbag comes out to disintegrate your forearms.
>>29121284>it will absolutely fold, and your fists will be inside the gauge cluster when the airbag comes out to disintegrate your forearms.that's a fair point I guess. personally, I enjoy having intact forearms.
>>29121282even if they dont pop off in a crash, they could twist easier under normal use and feel gross or become damaged earlier
>>29121116The most retarded part is that everything was figured out decades ago. Nicely curved gauge cluster cowl that matches the steering size creating an onobstructed view. But no, bean counters have to take the cowl away too because fuck you. A fucking rectangle poking up with nothing wrap around it and information obstructed by your hands is what you are going get.Doesn't matter tho, Karen there doesn't know what any of the numbers mean anyways. Kyle over there wouldn't bat an eye either, he got his balls cut off because his wife is the man of the house.Billy Bob Jr doesn't care either because he needs everyone to focus on how big the horsepower numbers are in his mustang. Then there is the rest of the car guys who holds zero sway to the car industry because they are too busy keeping 30/40/50 year old cars running and does not but bitch about modern cars online.Once all the old guards in the car industry die or retire, everything will be substantially worse.
