My personal opinion (Worth 1.98 cents) is that all of these square and other shaped wheels are not the safest.....If you happen to reach to adjust the mirror/radio/vent/etc and catch a corner.......Spin/wham...(Take your pick)
Reminds me of gaming and emulators as the turning circle of a sega rally machine vs a simulator. With the game you could probably use a wheel like this but with a real 360 turning circle your going to die in the simulator as run out of wheel to grab hold of and end up crossing arms and letting go of wheel same applies to real driving.
They work in aircraft because you generally have something like under 120 degree throw each direction at the yoke for full travel on your ailerons. Plus you fly one handed. Cars are usually something like 2.5 to 3 Turns lock to lock.
Dragsters can since they don't need the steering angle. Show cars since the 1950s just do it because it looks really wild in pics. Indy-car and F1 kinda stuff are using really fast steering ratios, so even hairpin turns work ok.
