Will removing steering column improve frunk space? Will rear wheel steering decrease rear seat space? Thinking of a potential 4m long, 170cm wide car with 5m turning radius for tight roads.

		The turning radius is 4.62 meters. " This triple-motor layout allows the rear wheels to achieve a maximum steering angle of ±20°, minimising the overall vehicle turning radius to 4.62 meters."

Could I have now joystick instead of steering wheel?

Since it's just data on a bus, you could plug in a video game controller and use that instead.

		Would unironically love this. The ergonomics of using a decent controller are so much more comfortable to me than traditional driving controls. Just being able to rest the controller down on my lap and control the whole vehicle with thumbs and fingers is far less fatiguing for me than holding my hands up to a wheel and working pedals with my feet for longer journeys.

Now that's a pretty car, even though completely derivative.
