Maybe my brain just recalled something I read. I dreamed I was in a car controlled by a wireless game controller. It was my future, and the gamers had been driving their car games so long that the designers realized they could use the same exact controller for the car. No steering wheel or pedals. Massive cost savings. Everyone in the car could drive from any seat. No separate versions for Great Britain and Japan.

I remember a James Bond escape where Pierce Brosnan used his phone to drive out of a garage. Maybe game controller driving is also something I have seen.

Maybe they could do it with the Formula E cars.

Did you come from behind
that rock, or from under it?

The true gamers buy the wheel and pedals Wink
