KEYBOARD COWBOY GAME MOVIE
“There’s quite a bit of distractions out there, between parents trying to adjust movie levels for folks in the back and sorting through the control panel in the front,” he said. “I’m pretty sure the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would go ballistic over that for the same reason as texting,” he told Cowboy State Daily.ĭrivers in today’s teched-out vehicles already have enough to distract them, Oedekoven said. He said if people think texting while driving is wrong and dangerous, a full-sized keyboard would be worse. Write a novel if you want.” It’s Also Illegalīesides the obvious, operating a keyboard while driving is the ultimate example of distracted driving, which is illegal, said Byron Oedekoven, executive director for the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police and a 28-year law enforcement officer.
To make a keyboard steering wheel work, “I think you’d have to do it with self-driving cars, with autonomous cars,” he said.

He also said that as self-driving technology continues to evolve, people doing full office-type work in their vehicles becomes more plausible. You hit a menu button and bring up a menu.” “Now we have different iterations of iDrive, lots of cars have it. “The BMW iDrive is basically a mouse pad that rotates in the center console right by the shifter,” Bodiford said. In 2021, BMW launched its iDrive feature, a device like a mouse pad that’s used to control all sorts of things in and around a vehicle. Most vehicles these days include multiple cameras and controls just about everything from around the steering wheel. “We’ve crossed into the absurd.” Not As Far-Fetched As You’d ThinkĪs more technology is integrated into vehicles, a full-sized computer keyboard isn’t far off from what’s already available, Bodiford said.
That something is too stupid to believe anyone would try “is something we put in the rear-view mirror awhile back,” Bodiford said. He also said that the human imagination and proliferation of social media and YouTube encourage people to attempt such things just to see if they can be done. “It’s a remarkable thought that I profess has never come across my way before.”īodiford said he agrees trying to do regular office work while operating a moving vehicle is not only a bad idea, “it’s beyond ridiculous.” “But there’s a long history of all this nonsense. “No, this is the first time I ever heard about it,” Vince Bodiford, publisher of, told Cowboy State Daily. While not surprised nobody wanted to invest real money into developing the keyboard steering wheel, one Wyoming auto industry insider says there’s no shortage of strange ideas out there. The campaign ran and closed having raised $0. He claims making a vehicle a “moving office” means people could work “anywhere on highway and internet freely.”Īt least that’s the pitch on his Indiegogo campaign, which aimed to raise $10 million to make the keyboard steering wheel a real thing. He thought so much of the idea, in fact, he started a serious crowdfunding campaign to raise money to develop the steering wheel keyboard and bring it to market. Peng apparently wanted to make the steering wheel keyboard mainstream, saying it could be the control center of your mobile office. Seems he had the idea a few years ago and, either by himself or with the help of an engineer, he invented the thing. Turns out it’s this guy: Yuzhou Peng of Urumpqi, China. Who could legitimately believe grafting a full computer keyboard onto the steering wheel of a 6,000-pound chuck of speeding iron and steel is a good idea? The obvious answer is also the most practical: Because it’s just too stupid to seriously contemplate. Of course, the suggestion was a joke that nobody took seriously.īut that spark from the back of the brain wanted to explore the idea a little more – specifically, why hasn’t anyone tried it before? Stupid Is As Stupid Does Tape a keyboard to the steering wheel and multitask like a champ. Just type and drive at the same time, was the tongue-in-cheek response. Wendy Corr, Cowboy State Daily’s longest-tenured reporter, Zoomed in from the road driving back to her home in Cody from Arizona and said a story she was working on would have to wait until she stopped. Why hasn’t someone attached a keyboard to a steering wheel? What started as a deliberately absurd suggestion during a morning editorial meeting in the Cowboy State Daily conference room led to an almost as asinine nagging question:
