Please let me steer the car with the mouse.
I only have one good hand, my left hand is only good for button mashing. It will never do fine control. You can't shoot and drive at the same time. So, Please, Please, PLEASE let me steer the car with the mouse. If you have any pity or mercy you'll let me steer the car with the mouse, I'm begging with you, pleading with you, Please let me actually be able to drive the car.

I agree, I would like this as an option.

Also would like an option to turn off Auto-Centre, I kinda need to be able to see around me when I'm driving, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Listen dude, with all due respect, if I had a messed up hand but was still gaming I would've figured out alternatives by now.

If you temporarily mangled your hand, chill. Everything is going to be frustrating until it gets better. Raging at the devs isn't going to make it heal any faster or the situation any more comfortable.
If this is a permanent condition, there are tons of options available for you in case the devs don't make this change. Like using a mouse with a side numpad to control the vehicle, or just accepting that you'll have to juggle between KB and mouse to drive/shoot. People with disabilities have to purchase specialist equipment if they don't want to suffer from their reduced capacities, it's just a fact of life sadly, but tons of people have designed gaming gear for the disabled so that's the good news.

I have a fancy trackball with a ton of buttons for all of the reasons you mentioned. It's still insanely frustrating to steer via button mashing even if it's with my good hand. It converts fun into stress.
Fair enough, wanted to make sure you had an alternative in the meantime at least. Hopefully they add mouse steering as an option soon!

Having option to switch between wasd and mouse steering won't hurt the game.

Kinda think they just ought to overhaul the way the thing handles entirely. Everything has a strange delay to it. You don't turn much at all, and then you REALLY turn. You don't brake much at all, and then you EBRAKE. You don't accelerate much at all, and then you go REALLY fast. It's like they purposefully made the most unintuitive and poorly-handling vehicle they possibly could have. I can't for the life of me figure out why they did it this way.
