    It wasn't controversial because there was about 200 years of prior art from sailing ships. (Before the wheel, ships were steered with tillers - which early cars also tried, interfa…

    I believe the disconnect here is you're describing how some wanted it to work vs. how it played out in the real world. In practice, it became an unrewarding place to contribute hig…
