TRW Folding Steering Wheel
There’s no denying that cars are getting smaller. With the rising cost of gasoline, the trend is toward less and less vehicle that you have to pay to move, and the cars are fitting more tightly around us than ever. And, of course, people aren’t really getting smaller with the cars. This can bring some uncomfortable squeezes in and out of small cars.

TRW has noticed that the prime tight spot is the steering wheel, and they’ve developed a concept for a folding wheel that’s there when you need it, and out of the way when you don’t. The wheel is actually two separate handles that fold into the dashboard. When the driver is in place in the car the wheel will fold out to a pre-chosen position. The company sees the design as part of an initiative to make cars easier to manage for the elderly and others with limited mobility. The technology could be street-ready within five years.
