I admit I am over snarky but center wheel driving seems like it would be more than distracting considering the way most people are used to driving and will still be driving even if you are the only one driving this newfangled vehicle.

As a casual question why did the original car makers up and through a century of development NOT exploit this?

Seems to me the designers would have figured out before they drove this a block why the steering wheel has always been located on the left side of the cab frame, and not in the center.

That’s why I say this is a platform for a self driving truck. That’s the only reason I can come up with.
