Is it possible to change the steering animation of a vehicle? I am working on a futuristic looking vehicle and I want my driving sim to sit with the same animation as the passengers, to give the look that the car drives itself.

How would I be able to change that?

not sure wat you mean.
Do you want to change the vehicle's steering animation or do you want to change the spot were the sim sits?

He wants there to be no steering animation for the sim, so the driver just sits there like the passengers.

Right, I don't want to change the physical position. Just placement of the driver hands.

You can do this in the RIG file by changing the IkChains(hands)
You can drop them so he/she places them in their lap.
The rest of the arm will automaticly follow.

Thanks, I appreciate your help but when I opened the _rig file it shows no IKchains. I tried deleting the steeringwheel joints/bones but that did not work. Am I totaly missing something?
