I think you're right. People in this thread are forgetting that this steering yoke doesn't have anywhere to put your hands other than right next to the buttons

A driving instructor saying "I couldn't use this on my first go" isn't a fatal argument for the control

Sure a stick is probably superior, but I bet you could build muscle memory on a wheel that works like a race car's

But it's not a yoke, it's a steering wheel, which generally turn up to 1 and 1/2 times each way, which with a small radius roundabout (which is a lot of them in Norway) means you'll have to go hand over hand to turn sharply enough, thus not having your hands on the exact same spots through the turn and thus not able to press the right haptic feedback panel at that time.
