Why is there an empty space under the steering wheel?

[AlessandraRose]

There is an empty space under the steering wheel to provide driving space for the driver. Introduction to the steering wheel: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. Functions of the steering wheel: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. When using a larger-diameter steering wheel, the hand force required by the driver can be reduced. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, which facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel on the vehicle more reasonable.
