True, but sensitivity is only half the story - the direct feedback of a wheel cannot be overstated
It's not just about precision, it's about feedback. Being directly connected with the steering linkage gives valuable feedback about the road and the front wheels - just because handicapped people have an alternative that they may use out of necessity does not mean it's a better solution.
In a fully autonomous car, sure perhaps a simple manual system as a backup makes sense but we aren't there yet. You are talking absolute nonsense, and I can only assume you haven't ever driven a vehicle.
Steering wheels are enormous because that allows fine grain control, which you need at higher speeds. Switching lane at 70mph requires only very slight movement but turning the car around in a street you can go full lock.
A joystick would be fucking TERRIFYINGLY stupid lmao
I'll be impressed if they manage to continue the trend and find someone even more vile to replace her
There are rumours abound that it may well be a wireless pcvr headset with an optional "base station" which is essentially a beefed up steam deck for the TV. I hope that's true because that would be ideal for people with existing PCs but who knows
How much of that is a workaround to feed client rendered webpages into LLMs and bypass robots.txt etc
