Steering wheel as we know it does not have a bright future -- in fact, it might disappear altogether as self-driving cars hit the road. Jaguar Land Rover, however, has an idea as to how it might survive. The British automaker has unveiled a concept steering wheel, Sayer, that is designed for an era where cars normally drive themselves and personal ownership is a thing of the past. The wheel would have its own Artificial Intelligence system, and would follow you from car to car – you would just hook it in to bring your experience with you, Engadget reported. AI would largely serve as a concierge. It would link you to an on-demand service club, whether or not you own your car, and would help you get a ride when and where you need it. If there is a must-attend meeting, for example, you could tell the wheel while it is still in your living room and it would figure out when a car needs to arrive and tell you when you might want to take control.
