Likely drive/steer by wire where the ratio is increased at low speeds allowing for much easier turning, especially when using a yoke. Though we don't see it in any current CT videos footage, It would be practical to believe it would also reduce the ratio at higher speeds so that oversteering is reduced as well.
So you think progressive steering will be available at production? I remember Elon stating that if regulations can't allow for steer-by-wire, having a geared steering system to allow for variable ratios would add complexity.

Saw this short video via reddit post today. Normally don't put much stock into 'new' videos but the windshield wiper does look different.

What the hell is that disgusting thing hanging on the side of the door? Yuck. And the wiper looks like a half-size foldable. Where's my laser blaster?

I had a 2003 Toyota Prado a lreadywith variable rate steering, not that complicated to do mechanically. Others do it, no reason CT can't have it.

I believe steer-by-wire is allowed in the US already:

The more I see those headlights the less I like them, makes the gap between bumper and front fascia too big. OG proto that had them in the bumper looked better.

Yes, it's old... the reason it looks like CGI is because of the steer by wire making the wheels snap almost to seem fake. I could really care less about what the wiper looks like... really, after seeing this truck in all its "BEAUTY" the wiper is merely a bug splatter. Bring it on!!!
Yes I noticed the speed of the string to.
