BMW ‘shape-shifting’ steering wheels


Eldorado

Recommended Posts

"BMW is working on new technology that will see steering wheels change shape before our very eyes.

"Patents filed by the German brand show a wheel that can change from a traditional circular shape to an oval shape using separate rim parts that can pivot in relation to each other.

"According to fan site BMWX2forum dot com this could be used to provide more space for the driver when a car is in autonomous mode, although Auto Express understands that added safety is the primary reason BMW is developing the technology."

That schematic made my head hurt...  I guess it's official.  I'm getting too old to understand the parts of a circular object  :w00t:
