Tactile steering wheel
Created on 15 Nov 2017
A steering wheel that gives direction through touch
A Steering wheel that you can hook up to your phone GPS that will vibrate in different ways to let you know where to go without looking at your phone. This is a much safer alternative and will allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road better.
