Can you drive a car with a joystick?
Can anyone build this into their Brad? Skip what about you?The SCARY THOUGHT is: NOW a 3-YEAR-OLD can STEAL your car AND DRIVE IT BETTER THAN YOU CAN!  Presenting the New Mercedes Benz SCL 600  Wyn

that would be a lot harder done without electronic control systems, but I am sure not impossible.  This is for a car with a handicapped driver, one direction depresses the brake and presses the gas, the other direction depresses the gas and presses the brake. OH, I just saw that car uses the stick for turning as well, that would be some pretty intense modification in the Bradley. |

You want to see something mindblowing, go to the henery ford museum in dearborn mi. they had joystick controlled cars back from around 1900 and 50s/60s concept cars also with joysticks, and controls simular to a modern plane and also like a boat.
Something else simular to this is Bi-wire drivelines... I did a research paper on the concept of it back in '02.

I see a lot of arm fatigue in the future of that Mercedes owner. With one arm outstretched all the time and no way to relieve it other than pulling over and driving from the passenger seat. The very early cars were tiller steered and provided positive feedback/ resistance through the stick. When speeds over 25 became the norm the tiller disappeared. There's no mention if the Mercedes provides any haptic feedback. If not I think it could be a rocket sled to disaster.

Yeah, they would need some feedback in there or else people would be crashing left and right.

I drive scooptrams and jumbo drills with stick steering. There is no feedback through the stick only visual reference. At speed things get a little squirrely. It hurts a lot when you go off roading underground as the edge of the road has no give.
