Very interesting. But I can already hear the car magazine editors shout, "%$#@! Where's the driving feel!? This thing sucks!"

Its going to take awhile before the public can get used to hand controls. Seems like it takes the emotion out of driving.

Pretty cool, but this WAS the future until California destroyed them all.





Go see "Who Killed the Electric Car?" and learn some more about it. Or search for the EV1 or the electric RAV4 or Ford Ranger.

Why cant they just make the steering wheel normal? And then slap some paddles on the wheel and there you have your accelerator and brake.
