I'm very curious to try it out for myself to see if it's smoke and mirrors or it actually makes the RZ better to drive.

When will this feature be introduced to the U.S. market?

Hey @crainwater1020 welcome to the forum! The steer by wire setup is going to be in the RZ 450e when it arrives in the US. So hopefully we won't have to wait much longer.

2023 Lexus RZ Steer-by-Wire Steering Yoke Review: Is This Yoke a Joke, Too?

It *has* to be better than Tesla's, right?

@crainwater1020 basically what @RZ-4-Me said. It will also be optional along with the yoke steering wheel.

How Lexus cracked the yoke before Tesla

We test Lexus and Toyota's revolutionary steering system

"The One Motion Grip only requires 150 degrees lock-to-lock, and it’s nothing like using a standard wheel. ‘Being able to go lock-to-lock without doing hand-over-hand was the first condition before we even thought about implementing a yoke,’ Lexus chief engineer Takashi Watanabe told CAR magazine. ‘You need a round steering wheel because you’re doing hand-over-hand. You need to grab it at any point, but when you don’t, that’s the first time you can consider using a yoke.’

Cleverly, Lexus is making the yoke optional. You can choose a conventional round wheel and physical steering system, or the yoke and steer-by-wire. It’s a binary choice and you can’t order a rotund wheel with the digital steering – nor can you spec a yoke on the end of a physical rack. We think that’s for the best."
