? And, it reasonably matches where the tires are IRL? Steer by wire enables much less effort for a similar rotation of the tires?

It also alters the amount the wheels move as your speed increases, so as you go faster the wheels move less for the same amount of steering wheel rotation. BMW has had this as an option for years and I have always hated the feeling of it. I skip any car that has that option.
Not sold on the whole "no steering shaft" design either, I don't want to have the software crash and lose steering control and end up killing someone (or worse, myself). It's one of those Tesla things, they're like 90% cars I like and the last 10% is pointless annoyances like not having turn signal stalks, having to use the touch screen for the wipers etc that end up as dealbreakers for me.

Every OEM I'm aware of that has implemented steer by wire actually still has a backup steering shaft available to engage in case the steering system fails. Of course Tesla being Tesla, it wouldn't surprise me if they skipped that design.

Tesla also was like “all you need is cameras! Take out all the sonar radar!”

Did they? Our 2024 Model Y doesn't have the ultrasonic sensors. Camera only for parking/navigating tighter spaces is annoying - less precise info and alerts about how i'm getting too close to something but there's at least 12" of clearance still.

I guess they're trying to replace Chrysler for certain demographics that love giant wheels.

Please tell me those renders or whatever they are are from some internet troll, right?
Taking just the shape, it's got to be the worst, laziest, most pre-school level of car design I've ever seen. And I've seen a cybertruck.
It's like someone tried to draw a rolls royce from a verbal description over the phone translated from Chinese with nothing but a ruler.
Just terrible.

Yeah the rock was the car
Wonder how many they are sending for "marketing" to rappers and drug dealers.
