A shittier version of the wheel.
A wheel that may very well kill you, depending on a number of factors that they are well aware of, but unwilling to admit to, in order to fix them.
An oval.
AKA...the "New and Improved Wheel". It's all about the marketing.
A square and it’s going to be revolutionary. Each side of the square is going to be an add-on
::: spoiler An X... New rimless cross spoke omnidirectional wheel
Musky naming something involving X.
Challenge: Impossible.
Isn't the Cybertruck steering wheel called a squircle?
If so, they stole that name from Sony
Hahahaha

Terrible name for a terrible design. Yoke style steering wheels are not safe for cars because they create awkward handholds as they rotate.
Yoke style works in planes and race cars where they aren't rotated 360+ degrees regularly, rarely over 90 degrees either direction.
If it made sense, Saab would have done it.

Apparently it fucking is. God I hate everything.
