According to respected publication Auto Motor und Sport, Honda has approved plans for the EV Ster to go into production, just weeks after its appearance at the Tokyo motor show in concept form. The German magazine quotes Honda president Ito Takanobu, suggesting the electric roadster will also be offered with a conventional petrol engine.

I know it's a concept but how is a person with an upper limb disability supposed to steer that? there's no need to reinvent the wheel.

This lever steering has been around in concept cars since the 1950's and it's never appeared in a production car yet (one had 12+ km of wiring in it, that never happened either), so I think the good old steering wheel is safe for a long time to come (maybe when they get rid of wheels)

I love it! We do need to save energy n maybe back in future someday,

n I do believe Honda's ergonomic achievement, n it is so specially comparing with ALL other cars.
