Technology has now become fundamental even in cars. Work is now being done to make it possible to accelerate and brake directly with the steering wheel.
Taking advantage of the technological equipment we have available can be important and simplifies many of our daily activities. The world of motors could not be excluded from thisfor the benefit of all people who are used to traveling by car every day.
Traveling has now become more and more comfortable, thanks to the so-called “driving assistance devices”, which allow you to feel safer, just think for example of tools such as emergency braking, lane keeping, pedestrian and cyclist collision avoidance and tiredness detection, designed to reduce the number of accidents, which is still too high. You drive this car like a Formula 1! – Derapate.it
Research in this area, however, does not stop at making the driving and on-board experience even better. There is a brand that is proving to be increasingly cutting-edge and is even thinking of eliminating the pedals inside the passenger compartment. A truly interesting novelty, which for some seemed to be almost impossible until some time ago.
Will car pedals soon be a thing of the past?
We tend to think that the way a car is driven is destined to remain the sameIndeed, even the idea of having an automatic gearbox seemed impossible according to many. And yet this has become reality for some time. However, car manufacturers are aware of how important it is not to be satisfied with the results achieved and to continue working to provide an increasingly cutting-edge service, even with options that prove to be a positive discovery for many.
This is what Toyota has in mind, which is thinking of a revolutionary version of the Land Cruiser for those who decide to focus on electric. A concept was shown in the United States that aims to be truly revolutionary because it is equipped with a steering wheel with special features.

It’s about the yoke steering wheels, equipped with a lever for acceleration and one for the brake, which will make the pedals we are used to useless. In short, something truly innovative, destined to change one’s relationship with the car, which will make it completely similar to what happens in racing single-seaters. Formula One.
The possibility that someone may be reluctant, however, is there and it is impossible to deny it. A similar experiment had in fact already been attempted by Tesla, with its Model S 2021, which featured a steering wheel of this type. The moment it was offered the opportunity to choose a traditional steering, customers opted for the other, confirming that there was a fear of not knowing how to make the most of it.
Toyota towards innovation
It should not be surprising that such an idea came from Toyota, one of the most innovative (as well as best-selling) brands in the world. The Japanese company has in fact always been at the forefront of providing a high level of service to its customers and that is what it aims to do with this steering wheel too.
After all, only a few years ago the car manufacturer had presented a retrofit system which uses ultrasound to avoid accidents for unintended acceleration. Its functions proved to be truly revolutionary because they allow, thanks to ultrasonic sensors, to reveal the presence of other cars or objects nearby.
