Why do cars have steering wheels in 2077?
With all the tech, being able to jack into devices, why do vehicles in cyberpunk even have steering wheels?
Thoughts?
Feels like a missed opportunity!

I imagine in the future while most cars would be self driven or you'd plug into it, some select cars would still be analog and mechanical in nature just for purists.

In the lore there are smart chipped cars just like there are smart linked weapons. But not everybody has interface contacts to use them so there are still steering wheels.

Better question is why have steering wheels if the NPCs do not turn them to turn. Makes it look like a game from the PS3 era.

Must be a bug because they do in my game.

Jackie turns the steering wheel when you're the passenger during those segments?

Yeah, although not a lot because the wheel doesn't actually turn as much reality.
