I just got the CRAZIEST idea!

[dstebbins]

You know how Wii racing games require you to steer like you would a real car?

You know how the Xbox controller triggers, when used in racing games, allow for analog gas and break?

Well, I just got the craziest idea: Take those two features and put them in a steering wheel, and make a car that paraplegics can drive!!!!!:Lighten:

Imagine this: On both of the upper quadrants of a wheel (where your hands are supposed to be), you have two analog triggers. Press down on one of them (or two; it makes no difference) to accelerate. I'm putting two on there so, no matter what one hand is doing (changing gears, activating windsheild wipers, etc.), the other hand is always on an accelerator. Pressing them down all the way will eventually cause you to go the maximum 180mph. Then, at six o-clock on the wheel, there's another analog trigger, only this one is for breaks. Pressing it all the way will cause you to, as they say, "slam on breaks."

This negates the need for your feet in any way, so wheelchair-ridden people can finally drive! Gentlemen, I'll take your questions now.

im not going to bother reading the rest.

i think that the Wii already has a game that you have to steer like a real car...

Dude, I wasn't even talking about making a game, dumbass. :idiot:

You'd know that if you actually read the whole thing. What a moron.

LOL, its not a bad idea, but I garuntee someone would find something wrong with the idea.

I'm sure it actually exists in some way just that it probably costs a lot to have your car converted to that, so must just settle for be passengers. I like it though, but how would you accelerate and make a full turn at the same time? Maybe they could install handlebars with a throttle and and hand brakes?

Simple: You alternate between the first trigger and the second.

And as for the "modifying your car" problem, who said you had to modify the car? Why don't you just buy the car like this. The car is made specifically FOR paraplegics.
