Steering wheel relocate, Move steering wheel Options

Does anyone know of kit to center the steering wheel on the seat?

if i am not horribly mistaken the purpose of "fly by wire" forerunner to any xxx by wire system was to "fly the unflyable".



a 914 ain't exactly like trying to drive the undriveable.


you might just end up with deliciously numb feel that both audi and toyota have been able to create with variable electric power steering. where you ask yourself as you are driving, is this car really a brick travelling down the road disconnected to a thing which is like a circular grab handle in front of where i am sitting - and since i feel like a passenger why have i got a steering wheel at all?

i like all those pedal layout diagrams posted above.
enough to make me have nightmares remembering the torment of converting to right hand drive. thankfully i sleep at night these days.
note how the clutch pedal is never a variable.
wise people have perfected those layouts.

Nope, more or less. Servos have been around a looooong time. I've designed several. They're just not as smart as the human brain (of half the human population) to make safe logical decisions. The input matrix is limited as is the decision matrix. It's called optimal array processing. AI is just a bunch of dumb do loops. Driving by wire is fundamentally unsafe when in auto pilot. Driving by wire with a human at the stick is okay if everything is designed well & tested. Third order redundancy is necessary too. Just talk to my old buddies at McDonnell Douglas. Auto pilot only works when the servo doesn't fall out of decision space such that it can't acquire. Limited servo decision space (digital) or dynamic range (analog) is like driving drunk.

i like your third order of redundancy requirement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
