Touch screen steering is surely coming.
It will save the corporations tons of money not having to manufacture a steering wheel.
They’ll sell it as a “high tech feature” and use it as an excuse why the car is more expensive than last year

Shirley having a physical steering wheel is a requirement otherwise they’d have already innovated with driving solutions before now.

Oh, there have been attempts. Joystick controls, for example, in Mercedes concepts (F 200, SL R129 Concept, Vario Research car), or in actual farming vehicles. Recently, several automakers tried yokes. For now it’s the cheapest way to make a car steer, we’ll see some funky shapes probably.

Joystick controls sound fun for like bumper cars

Saab also had a joystick prototype!
