Could you operate car with NES controller?

Have you ever played a racing game with digital controls?peppers wrote:On a related note hooking up an NES controller to operate a car would be the most awsomething ever
Yeah, not so awesome once you translate that kind of control to real-world situations.

Then what the hell would be the point of A/B?peppers wrote:IDK, it might be made to work. A and B could be used to control wheel speed and then directional pad made to control actual movements. Casual driveling could be accomplished like this with relative comfort. Unfortunately you would still need the gas & break pedal though.

To controll the speed or "sharpness" of weel movements.
That's why you start by practicing in a parking lot when learning a new vehicular control scheme. It's also why racing video games start the player on an empty track ("time trial").
This might be workable:
Left/right: turn wheel at a rate typical of making turns. Quick taps are used for small adjustments to maintain course.
Left/right in opposite direction from position of wheel: quickly turn wheel toward center until it reaches the center.
A: open throttle (aka accelerator, gas pedal). Letting go of A keeps the same speed, like cruise control.
B: quickly close throttle all the way (that is, foot off gas), then brake while B is held.
Down: same as B.
(Mirror the following example in UK, JP, AU, and NZ)
For example, to make a right turn from a stop, you'd briefly hold A and press Right until the wheel is at 360°R, then let go. Once the car is turned, briefly tap Left, and the wheel recenters.
Such an adaptive control would take a few hours of practice, just as the ordinary control takes a few hours of practice, but it would let someone with loss of limb function drive with one hand.
