That's not re-invention. That is just re-hashing. Every decade some car designer "invents" another not-round steering wheel. Every one has been a flop.

It worked for KITT, so why not a production car?

Forget the yoke - the new Model 3 still has a wheel but removed the stalks, moving the turn signal to buttons on the steering wheel and everything else to the touchscreen (though there's a second set of gear changes in the ceiling)

I think, in fairness, we have to blame Ferrari for that - they did it first with the Enzo, and brought it to their "base" models with the 458, I think?
