Hot off the press from the official LC YT channel. Doesn't look to be LC specific, prolly slapped it on LC for click bait haha 🙈

Or could be a handicap wheel like the one that was in the promo videos when the 24 first came out.

Very likely that is how they originally sourced budget for R&D. In the video they mention this only as one of the possible use cases, but they also mention older people who find it hard to operate pedals, children(!) who can't reach the pedals, Dakar rally, people who drive long distances and want change sit/stand position to reduce fatigue.

Realistically, they've spent decent amount of pennies on R&D and now are looking at different possible applications to capitalize on it.

Since break/accelerator controls are located on the wheel itself the wheel doesn't allow to make a full turn => steer by wire. . . and this technology is slowly crippling into somewhat mass produced toyota lexus vehicles, lexus rz for example. Maybe in 20 years it will be just another standard option like 3rd row or sunroof 😅
