@Sunshine This seems to be very close to what Hyundai does in the Ioniq 5N, just using a stick instead of paddles. I don’t know if that difference will be enough to warrant a patent, but time will tell.
As for the feature itself - yeah, it seems stupid and pointless, but every single review I have seen of the 5N acknowledges the stupidity but also concludes (usually with a huge grin on the reviewers face) that it makes the car an absolute blast to drive.
Will this be a thing in 20 years? Most likely not. Could it be the gateway drug for petrolheads? Yeah, looks like it.
