I guess it may not be crashworthy, but surely something like this could be done. People would pay good money for this kind of thing.

Sure Toyota doesn't seem to have a problem getting people to buy their stuff, but why can't GM or KIA do something like this? Is it really that hard to see what makes a car cool?]]>Oct 22nd 2009 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/
That being said, this is a nice, if impractical touch. I read something a few years back in which they said drivers had better control of the car if it were operated with an aircraft-style yoke rather than the traditional steering wheel, so that may be the future of vehicles. Unfortunately, I can't see how they can shove an airbag in that, as it seems too fragile.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/Oct 22nd 2009 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/Oct 22nd 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/
I'm pretty sure the handlebar patent has long expired.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/Oct 22nd 2009 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/toyotas-ft-ev-ii-concept-sports-steampunk-interior-joystick-co/Strikes me as funny that people are all awed by a bicycle handlebar because they don't recognize it in a car basically.

Does look totally impractical to remove the interior in lieu of this though. Where will the yuppies set their lattes?

This is the wost of the worst, Impale-O-Matic design,
and when power is lost, you lose the steering.

All this crap is getting more complex, more expensive, stupider. What is needed is the opposite, a revisited
Model T, Deuxchevau or Bug idea, simple, unbreakable basic mechanicals,
inexpensive design, execution, ownership and repair.

Offers the people can't refuse are what will replace the fleet. Reliable decent transportation for 10-20K$.

$40,000 c Volts, and overpriced boutique Teslas, and head up your ass thinking and design like this idiocy are not going to cut it.
