Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 23 (Xinhua) Toyota has unveiled a very unique square steering wheel, the Neo Steer, which not only has a very strange shape, but also has a unique design concept and function: inspired by motorcycle handlebars, integrating throttle and brake functions into the steering wheel.

According to Toyota's official press release, the irregular shape of the steering wheel can give users a broad field of vision, while the floor space is designed with "no pedals" to make the driving position "unrestricted and smooth in and out".

Official pictures show that there are two levers on the right side of the steering wheel, with the outer lever corresponding to the throttle and the inner lever corresponding to the brake.

The design allows for "hand-controlled driving", and officials say it can provide a safe and intuitive driving experience for users with lower limb disorders.

According to CTOnews.com, Toyota has recently launched a number of new concept cars, including the Lande Cool SUV, an electric version with a length of more than 5 meters, and the EPU, an all-electric concept pickup truck that claims to be standard Ford Maverick.
