Ferrari cars will have variable control layout
Ferrari has registered a patent according to which future cars of the Italian brand may have the ability to change the layout of controls
This means that the driver will be able to choose where to sit – left, right or in the middle. The location of the steering wheel, pedals, gear lever and seat can also be moved at will. It is difficult to imagine how this technology will be implemented in reality. In addition, the company does not rule out that such a car could be equipped with a manual transmission in the future.
In fact, the company has been registering patents for various elements of this technology for almost a year now. These included multifunctional seats with a huge number of adjustments, a cockpit that automatically adjusts to the driver, a joystick instead of gas and brake pedals, and the ability to transfer control of the car to the front passenger.
