don't know if anybody else remembers this, but Mercedes did have a yellow prototype slk a while back that had those controls. The reason for this, was to show how throttle/brake/steering by wire could work. I believe I saw this on a MotorCar episode. All controls were done through the 2 controls on the door and center console. It was setup to be similar to how a plane is controlled. No need for pedals since acceleration and braking are controlled by the joystick on the center console. So, I don't know if these pics are fake or not, but Mercedes has looked into this technology before. Last I heard though, was that this would never be implemented since the US did not allow steering by wire.
