It turns out: you will crash if you sit in a lego duplo car due to a pretty severe lack of steering. 

The steering wheel can't be turned. Even worse: Sometimes there is no steering wheel and I can't see those sensors those modern self driving cars have. IT IS FRIGHTENING!!!

I am pretty positive that a vehicle with such a steering will not pass the typical regular security inspection!

Where my certainty ends: 

I am however not sure whether the steering is the only reason why a duplo car would be unsecure. This is to determine after you install one of the following two steering wheels. 

2 files are available: 

  • With a horizontal axis. This could also be mounted to a boat. I am not a boat expert so I can't tell if above described problems could also affect boats. But hey, why not trying it…
  • with a angled axis. This looks much more comfortable. However, this needs to be installed AFTER the driver has taken her/his seat. This could be more for a Team motorsport like the F1. 

Print the steering wheel mounts in the normal position. Print the wheels with the axle pointing up. The wheel needs to be printed at 130%.

 

Suggestions for remixes: 

  • Obviously the goal is to have a functional steering. Field testing will tell if accident rates drop if we have a turnable steering wheel.
  • However we could also incorporate an airbag in the steering wheel. I assume that is difficult but lets see where miniatursation ends (better only click if you have time at hand!)
