All cars should function like a cockpit- each function has its own independent metal toggle switch that goes 'KAK when switched. I will fight you on this. We need someone to make an interior that does this; sells well, and then the golden age of independent buttons shall return!

one steering wheel to steer left, and one to steer to the right

What if I flip both at once?

Seems similar to some tanks.

I haven't driven a tank.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

I agree.

I've never driven a tank either.

I want switches on the headliner so I feel like a pilot

Yes, and we also need that for personal computers.

I mean, monochrome easy on the eyes displays being all you need to normally use it. All the fancy stuff on a separate hires color display that may even not be there.

We will have proper computing in our age.

Returning proper controls for most things is just the first step.

I drive a '91 Jeep Cherokee and it has a wattered down version of this, I have never felt more powerful turning on the rear wiper.
