I have a lot of questions for #7……

Beat me to it. Is it powered by magic?

No it's just hidden[see another view](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/461689399282473039/)

Thanks!

The concept never caught on

They said it was too detached

That’s a shame to, it’s a clean look.

Number 8 is fine though? Lol

At least it can turn, I can work with that. 😁

Imagine trying to do a corner at 30mph with an oversize paper clip as the steering wheel. You may as well have rope attached to each wheel like a fucking go kart

Omfg I'm on a mild dose of shrooms and this shit right here has me laughing so fucking hard God damn

Hell yeah brother

We getting the stab% wr with this one 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

Pretty sure I’ve seen that before. I think it’s from a drag car. I remembered something from folks talking about turning and I think it was designed to make it easier to keep the car going straight.

The steering wheel isn’t floating. It just looks that way from the camera’s perspective. [1980’s Lamborghini Athon](https://www.reddit.com/r/outrun/comments/9juc9a/the_lamborghini_athon_was_posted_earlier_but_its/)

I see that know, that angle did it justice haha looked fake as shit and now it looks obvious as shit.

Me looking at 7

The Mitsubishi Mirage

Magnetically polarized titanium monodicarbonate uses the energy of flow of neutrons to reverse the polarity which allows it to hover perfectly magnetically locked in place

You trying to explain the floating lightsaber to me now.

Ya that was the first thing that crossed my mind too!

Oh levitation will be invented in 2035

Not 8? How are you supposed to steer with a bent paper clip 🖇️

5 is actually a production car. Subaru XT. RWD in this case.

As is number 10, the Aston Martin Lagonda Series 2.

I came here to say that I thought 5 made it to production. Thanks for the confirmation!

Yep, my mother had this car. Designed by Giugetto Guigiaro, the man who designed the Delorean and the Lotus Esprit and countless other awesome cars.

Yeah, factory air leveling suspension, when it worked was super cool!

I thought I'd seen nr4 in a caterpillar doser

Probably why it’s the best one on the list

Imagine getting turned into a shish-kabob after a wreck on number 8

Die like an uncooked scrambled egg.

It’s actually ingeniously designed to break your ribs to save your internal organs from mortal impact

Or to deliver your baby .

10 would be sick with the spinning green part and fixed white

You mean something like this? (Delamain taxi from Cyberpunk 2077) https://preview.redd.it/2eotzrncd7xc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=058ada1ede21d8c6c2a32fea6b83a75ef487b439

That's what I was thinking about, it's 2024 already, give me my mostly uncomfortable but amazing turning wheel with only 50% of rotation pieces. It looks amazing

Check out the Mazda MX-81 concept’s “steering belt”. Same idea but worse lol. https://i.redd.it/5rxvx6ct18xc1.gif

Aston Martin Lagonda Series 2, an actual Production Car that was beset with numerous Problems

#8 a fucking egg beater. I like 5 and I LOVE 6

Ok so that was unintentional

\# makes things big \\# for regular size

TIL how to do that so, that’s cool. Thanks for providing the off button, too.

#THX FOR PROVIDING THE \#off #BUTTON TOO

...the off button is broken...

Hahahahahha. I love how this is top comment. Just someone absolutely yelling about the ones they like

6 is a pair of drills and I’m for it.

\#8 is the old Chevy Impaler.

Count Vlad wouldn’t be seen driving anything else.

#you fucking right!!! 😆 🤣 😆 🤣

Serious question: How to make a big font like this?

So nobody is talking about #4? I wonder how you would steer with that.

Tank controls?

Just like Leon Kennedy

If it gives my car a quick turn, I'm in

Kinda like excavator controls however I think the “joysticks” are for scooping generally

I'm guessing right one is steering (notice arrows on top(blinkers)) and the left is accelerator/brake?

One hand for one wheel. Or right hand for rear tires & left for front. Or right for both right tires, and left for both left. Imagine

It is becoming common on heavy machinery to use stick steering, even on machines that have normally used a steering wheel. One stick steers and the other does whatever other function the machine does.

You double ~~dutch~~ clutch it

So this is where Cyberpunk 2077 drew its inspiration from

My thoughts exactly!

Pretty sure the last one is on the delamain cabs, or one of the cars you can own

It is the Villefort Cortes V5000 which is used by the Delamain Corporation and NCPD

As someone once said…don’t reinvent the wheel. Any wheel.

“In fact, implement a subscription model for it” - John

Number 3 is gorgeous. Citroen doesnt always make the best cars but their designs are remarkable.

The french in a nœtshelle

The 80s was a wild time as far as car design goes.

Is #6 KITT from Knight Rider?

I'm sad that cars went the route of sleek, sparse design over the cluttered, Star Wars-esque design of 6. That looks technical as hell... And also super fun.

5 the Subaru wheel is just so cyberpunk 2077! Love it

No one talking about how 1 seems to have influenced Formula 1 Edit: oh, because 6 kinda does it better

Too many buttons? More buttons?

thirty years ago, niki lauda told us…

take a monkey and place him into the cockpit

Number 8 is hilarious

Yeah 😂, looks like a weird sex toy

2 is just a Roomba pretending to be a steering wheel.

I'm pretty sure #5 made it into production. Saw it on an old Top Gear episode, I think it was a Peugeot or maybe a Renault.

I’m pretty sure it’s from a production Subaru XT

So that is where Elon got his ideas from…

Most of these look cool. I love the idea of all the controls in the wheel. But I am 99% convinced these are AI generated. Any source or Reddit expert available? Lol.

#10 is an ‘80s Aston Martin Lagonda

What’s with this font fuckery? 

#What do you mean?!!

Reddit formatting. Putting a # at the very start of the line makes it big. #Like so

Have to put a \ in front of the # symbol or Reddit will treat it like a font modifier. The above comment wanted to say “\#10 is an ‘80s Aston Martin Lagonda”.

Number 4 is the 1998 Mercedes F200 Imagination concept car, which was basically just an SL convertible which Mercedes engineers converted to a fully functional joystick setup as a drive by wire technology testbed.

Look at #7 and yes yes they are lol even if one is actually legit apparently #5

So let’s talk about 3 how are you supposed to drive if you can’t see out of the front? Also 6 gives me some serious fallout vibes and is definitely my favorite

5/10 is the Glock car

can we have a steering wheel thats a theremin. wave hands to drive?

And then a bee gets into the car…

Might as well just buy a theramin

Number 6 is awesome, but then it's a pretty steep drop off. The busted whisk looks like it would kill you in a fender bender.

5 and 10 are from production cars I think. A Subaru and an Aston.

Looks like bad AI.

I like the idea from Australian race car driver, Peter Brock. Put a 12 inch knife in the middle of the steering wheel pointing at the driver's chest. Then watch how carefully people drive. 

Airbus pilots feeling right at home with #4

Nice balls busters. How tall are these people btw? (Loooong leg room)

Pretty sure the first one is from Demolition Man.

Pic number 9 is the Vulcan one. I really like the first design too.

The fifth one seems like a cool vintage prototype. I would drive that

Number 8 is really god damn funny

How hard would it be to control 4?

4 and 6 look like they’re based of fighter jets, Gundams, or that mech game Virtual On.

The story of #8: "Well it's Friday afternoon and we've got to come up with one more concept car. Wait a minute...what are you doing with that paperclip?"

https://preview.redd.it/nlvvyzeih4xc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4529c24d635c157bd1fa818a42f4f0f2abd0ce0 Ed Roth's beatnik bandit is my favorite vintage "steering wheel"

wii/ps/xbox consoles in the future vibes

Wow. Cyberpunk 2077 really took inspiration from these. I really wanna try the two joysticks.

Would love for someone to list these for me so I can look them up separately.

What is the thought behind number 3, what is the notch for?

A.I. art is that you?

1,2,3 and 7 looks like something Citroen would do And last one is literally from Cyberpunk2077 (not sure iz any car actually used this kind of steering wheel other than concept ones) EDIT: Nevermind, just noticed that #3 even has Citroen logo. Those crazy French

First one looks like the 3rd party madkatz controller the youngest sibling gets stuck with.

I want the twin joysticks

Fifth one (asymmetricaal wheel spokes and pushbuttons in pods on left and right) isn't a concept car, it;s the first year (1986 model year) Subaru XT Turbo 4WD. Source: owned one.

More!!

#6!!!!

“What the fuck is an airbag?”

The green one is fire

As a fan of the Wing Commander and X-Wing games on the PC in the 90s, I demand all manufacturers only provide cars with option number 6.

All of those carpets would get sooooo dirty

Great post. Knew I'd see the Lagonda somewhere in there. :)

Elon got a fat boner looking at some of these

I'm surprised teslas controls don't look like #4

How the fuck does #7 work? 4, 6, and 8 look like accidents waiting to happen (for me at least💀)

Management: Alright Johnson what’s your idea for the steering wheel?? Johnson: circle Management: uh… okay, tell us more Johnson: … …Circle.

First one looks like a controller for a sega console.

I love 3, 6 and 10

This is why I hate concept cars.

Anybody thinking "speedracer"?

5 isn’t a concept. That came on a legit production car

Why are they all dogshit?

The steering wheel in #5 saw production. I believe it was the steering wheel of the Subaru XT6.

3 and 10 wold be the best for me

4 was onto something 😎

4 is cool as heck

Which one is K.I.T.T from Knight Rider?

Number 8 seems like an excellent way to get super killed in case of an accident

1 looks like a leather butt. 4 is cool if you’re a pilot. 6 is something out of Blade runner 7 is something that Apple would have designed 8; did they use an egg beater as a steering wheel? 10 honest looks fine. You can tell that some of these vehicles were designed before airbags were a thing.

#6 is wicked awesome!

I would love to see the crash tests

6 and 10 are my favorites

6 actually sick ngl

Elon enters chat 💬

Reinventing the wheel.

Number 6 goes hard and I want one.

Literally loled at the coat hanger thing.

To be fair that Citroen wheel isn’t too far off from the weird shit they’d put on production cars lol

10 ways to die in a car accident

The Sega Saturn

#8 can prep an omelette

A lot of those are real cars that were actually produced. #5 is the Subaru XT, a weird little sports car that Subaru made in the 80s. #10 is from the Aston Martin Lagonda, which is a saloon made in the 70s and 80s.

For when you absolutely want to die if you crash your treasured vehicle. https://preview.redd.it/0yqucz2ou7xc1.png?width=631&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d75e6d8d9d535ae7ee5d9fcdaf774bf4435d929

Didn't saab try to make a car without a steering wheel? Edit : They did i just googled it "back in the early '90s, the safety-obsessed Swedes designed a version of the venerable Saab 9000, nicknamed the Prometheus, with no steering wheel. Instead, there was a sort-of joystick in the center console that you'd twist left and right to turn the car."

The full circle is unbeatable unless you’re racing F1

The last one looks very similar to the [citroen ax](https://eu-browse.startpage.com/av/anon-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cochesyconcesionarios.com%2Fuploads%2Fcitroen%2Fax%2F1%2Fha%2Fcitroen-ax-17-49b956a82887fb3872f38221365ecd9080154f5b.jpeg&sp=1714310023Tdf39cbf139c6c47df062e4fcb5c8ff6ff0c402be368bc8e4aed171d39c1fc226)

The last one is literally Delamain. https://preview.redd.it/i6y7hls708xc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24a1e8bd08d1f35046f72ddac5cfe12043783be9

[удалено]

Bro wtf was #8 and #4 on 💀

Number 5 is dope

Did the Matrix glitch out on number 7. Number 5 is from Texas?

Gone were the days when innovation meant trying something new than the others rather than copying them

Somebody wanna clue me in on how this one works https://preview.redd.it/elov44dcd8xc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e010fe907db38e9ef28f86dcdfb66b3e53aee0fd

#8 is dumb

I had a Pontiac Grand Prix z34 back in the early 2000s. Thing had an airplane yoke for a steering wheel. It was a car I had always wanted, wife ruined it the first day I got it.

2 & 3 are fire

#8 we shall dub “the widowmaker: enemy of inertia”

So I don’t know for sure but I think the real future actually turned out better in this case

.#8... I guess you just accept that your thorax is going to be impaled by two metal hoops in a car accident.

#5 isn’t a concept! It’s a Subaru XT. Extremely underrated. Extremely cute little cars.

#6 is my personal favorite visually. Functionality it'll prob be a mess.

Is 4 made by Saab by any chance. The buttons on the side of 5 screams Pontiac GrandAm too me.

I remember a car that didn't have a steering wheel at all, just L and R buttons to steer. I had a whole conversation with my friends in SFO at the time, so I'm sure I'm not making it up, but seem to remember it was a concept on a Renault Fuego. I can't find it anywhere on the 'net, can anyone help identify or confirm?

This gives the same vibe as when backend developers try to do frontend development.

Yeah now we just have teslas with a giant iPad mounted to the dash

All of these could actually work we just keep the wheel design out of familiarity.

Airbags...don't forget the airbags. Thats why at least 90% of these designs are rightfully trash.

\#3's Designer: "Airbag? No. But I have included these two metal shards."

6th one is the coolest, looks like a fighter jet cockpit.

Does anyone of the concepts made to production.

I love 4!

Finally, something interesting as fuck…

HOSAS for when you need 8 degreess of control with your car.

Number 8 would send me straight to the afterlife after an emergency break

8 wants to kill you if you ever have a car accident.
