        errr, some of the very earliest cars were controlled by a stick / tiller arrangement, weren't they?

          luthernil, I believe you are what's known as spammer. All of your posts contain links to a parts supply company. Very clever the way you weave them into your posts. I think the owners of the website might like to know your mailing address so they can send you a bill for advertising. I could be wrong though, they do plenty for nothing now.

                Todd is correct. When my father was alive he had a 1899 Horseless Carrage in his collection in Ocala that was controlled by a "joy stick". Makes you wonder why they got rid of them shortly after that in the early 1900's?

                  Foot controls?

                  My other post didn'seem to make it, so if this is a repeat it's not intentional. But i see no fool controls, seems like a lot to do with 1 hand?? Also it would be my guess that what, maybe 350 or more hp differance might be why they did away with the "joy stick" idea? It just seems with no pedals its a lot to do with one hand at say 80+ mph.

                    We fly fighter jets at Mach 3 or 4 with a stick so it ain't the speed.

                      this is true BUT fighter jets have controls for both hands, foot controls and very sophisticated electronics, they know everything around them for 100+ miles, almost even mosquitos. Remembed a few yrs ago, someone, MAYBE Carl Edwards took a pilot for a ride, then The cup driver took a flight in the jet?? The pilot said "those guys are crazy, NO WAY i would do that" But a good question video, I dont want either job!! LOL

                        can you believe this

                        That model looks like a toy that even youngster can maneuver. I haven't seen that model personally but I think benz parts have become more car owner friendly.
