Is that what those circle things are on the wheel?

Musk's reply sounds like their AI will automatically turn the left/right on and you have to over ride with a touch screen - which to me sounded like a center console... Either way based on the many posts/videos on their current ML I don't think either is a good idea.

I don't think they're "circle things". You're probably confusing them for the normal steering wheel controls that were already in the Model 3.
