Wheel X
Wheel X is a concept steering wheel designed for future cars. The form responds to the different needs of drivers in different driving situations. The grip extends and rotates automatically to switch between three modes: unmanned driving, natural driving and sports driving. In the natural state, the shape is round and smooth. When a button is pressed, the grip turns from an O shape to a W shape, the inner surface gains a bump texture and dynamic lighting appears on the outer side. The skeleton is zinc alloy and the shell uses PU and TPEE.
