Earlier, the brand-new Tesla Model S was exposed. The Yoke-style sterring wheel, in addition to being the focus, is also considered a safety hazard.
It is reported that the yoke steering wheel was originally used in aircraft. The yoke of an aircraft is the steering control column. You can also see this type of steering wheel in Formula One (F1). However, Tesla uses a yoke steering wheel in Model S , It is really eye-catching.
Although, this yoke steering wheel looks super cool on “Cyperpunk 2077” or F1 cars.
However, they should not be used in consumer cars. If you and I have watched an F1 car from the cockpit camera, you will notice that the control is different from our usual driving. In most cases, each rotation is more than 180 degrees. as the picture shows.
At the same time, for the consumer Tesla Model S, if it is equipped with this yoke steering wheel, it will become super “awkward”. You make multiple rotations during emergency turns or U-turns, because there are only two steering wheels. Contact, making a 900-degree turn looks very hard, and more importantly, it doesn’t look very safe.
This dude uses the yoke in the Tesla Model S and it looks abysmal. Turning rotation is so stupid (Model S is 900° (F1 car with same “yoke-style” is 300-400°)) and the dude accidentally hits the horn on the dumb, rotating, capacitive buttons at 1:45. BAD! https://t.co/k5mrARRB0D

First of all, you can see on the video that the driver accidentally touched the horn and the control lever with the turn signal removed. The driver needs to click the left and right signal buttons. These two buttons appear in strange places, that is, the steering wheel. left.
I’ve got the perfect solution! We’ll just click this into place. pic.twitter.com/u0opZgSgFS

Some people even suggest using an additional accessory to make the steering wheel of the Tesla Model S look more like a steering wheel.
The driver Omar in the video told the American car review blog “Jalopnik” that this is his second time driving the car, so he is not familiar with the steering wheel. This video was originally prepared for Tesla. But later found out that it can be seen everywhere on the Internet.
“YokeSteering wheel learning curve (learning curve), but insurmountable;If people understand this, they can make choices and know what to expect. “
“For me, after driving about 300 kilometers in the car, I finally didn’t have to reach out and grab a non-existent turn signal handle. In the past two days, I didn’t think too much, just focused on steering and driving.”
What can you learn from these words? Although this yoke steering wheel has existed for decades, there is a reason why it has not been widely adopted. Is it a good idea to reinvent it?
