1965 Promo About Fords Experimental Steering Wheel

Old promo footage like this is super interesting to me. This features an idea that Ford Motors experimented with, removing a steering wheel and putting two controllers in it's place that you controlled with both hands and spun right or left. Political incorrectness aside, this video is pretty awesome.

I wonder why it never took off. Maybe people couldn't get used to the ideas of controlling a car without a steering wheel. Maybe today's tech savy generation would be more willing to try something new.

Then again, in the future there may be NO steering wheels at all.
