At least they put in a variable rack for the stupid yoke, unlike Tesla. Still dorky as hell though.
Yes, but Lexus engineered it waaaaaay better than Tesla.
Im waiting for the tesla fanboys
I may be wrong, but wasn’t steer by wire not legal until recently?
@Michael Ehrmantraut Gaming here they come
I am concerned about the 4 motors failing over the years and costing thousands, but it is definitely vastly better than how tesla implemented it
its going to be interesting to see if more cars adapt the steer by wire system in the future
Many modern vehicles already have electric steering, my 2018 ram 1500 has electric steering as did my old 2012 charger Rt, I believe it’s the “variable turning” that is new
@TheSRT Superb8eI think you’re mistaking electric power steering with steer by wire. Steer by wire has no physical connection between the wheel and the steering rack, which allows it to be variable. Only Infiniti and Toyota have put it to production.
How about some good Ole break by wire?
@sam
Break by wire huh? That sounds like it sucks.
Ah yes, aim assist
Haha
This comment deserves more likes
Doug is the type of guy to stop at a 2-way stop with right of way, to let the other drivers go
i’ve done this before
Damn even Lexus would take a shitty idea and implement it better than a Tesla
Just only 1 or 2 things
Even Lexus? Toyota is one of the most established car manufacturers in the world.
@Tadasand out of all of the car manufacturers in the world, lexus probably think things through the most. What even was OP’s comment :/
One strange thing is that when I first heard about Tesla’s yoke, they said it would work like described in this video, progressive steering, but for some reason that didn’t happen.
Maybe since everyone is copying it it isnt a shitty idea.
Literally reinventing the wheel
The yoke is the worst idea ever.
Doug is the type of guy that thinks the goofy yoke steering wheel is cool!! 🙄
Lexus actually did something that Tesla could do but for some reason didn’t do it
And now they need a separate motor to provide feedback to the wheel too. I worry all these expensive features are going to make a lot of car shaped ewaste in the future.
Variable ratio steering is what I wish was standard 🙁
It’s a shame they couldn’t beat the range of a Tesla after working so hard to beat Tesla’s yoke steering
You are so knowledgeable❤❤❤❤
That electric Lexus is a Yoke.
That yoke thing looks outright dangerous to me. I mean, who was so bored and decided to reinvent the wheel?
You’re not a F1 driver that never takes his hands off the steering. You’re just doing your daily commute, and for that a normal steering wheel just seems far better (and probably safer)
You don’t have to take your hands of the yoke like a tesla for tight turns. At low speeds it will steer more and at high speed less with the same degree of rotation.
@SALAD MAN All it takes to accidentially steer into something is that you get disoriented for a second (Or maybe just having a bad day). Mind you even in aircraft the amount of yoke rotation corresponds to how much the control surface are moving.
tl;dr Yoke for regular cars are stupid. Just why..
@SALAD MAN That is at least a huge improvement. But you will let it go. In the end the car is just a commuter. So if you want to take a sip of coffee or anything. So for most persons a normal round steering wheel that you can grab where ever is far more practical.
Because I flown airplanes for years, I love the steering yoke. Economically, I would not want to pay extra for it, only for it to become an issue on trade-in or resale.
Steer by wire sounds like a great idea till you have a minor electronic problem and your steering is completely gone.
I remember some time ago, I think in the 1990’s, maybe even earlier, SAAB was experimenting with a joystick, no steering wheel, no yoke, no joke.
That would make more sense now though, since the steering wheel is not physically connected to the wheels anyway in some cars.
