I maintain controls should be on the steering wheel because hands and fingers are more precise than legs and feet.
Throttle and brake controls could be on a steering wheel just as easily as motorcycle handlebars.
Throttle on my high school electric car was a shaped wooden dowel held between the index and middle fingers on the side to side steering mechanism. That dowel was attached to a string that connected to a spring-loaded potentiometer. Finger control of throttle was precise, meanwhile feet bounced around as the car encountered the "features" of the track.
