Watching the Motorweek driver put the car through its paces, it looked pretty simple. Jennifer K .. (Greek sounding name) drove the roadster on a course and some highway in Germany and she didn't seem to have any problems with it. It looked like it was a matter of getting used to the sensitivity of the joystick. It looked liked the left stick was for acceleration and braking and the right stick was for steering. She made some sharp turns at speed and it worked fine. At the end of the test drive she was flicking her right wrist and making the car turn like a normal car.
