Why not run the wire down the center of the steering column like the horn wire?
Or do like
the nascar guys and use a coiled wire, like a phone to handset cord and just
let it twist
around the steering column in the turns?

I've considered infrared or radio wireless for problems like
this. It would probably require a bit of custom electronics
work, but I imagine electronics manufactures have application
notes covering simple implementations using their products.
I haven't take this route yet, but would probably use
a small battery to power the steering wheel electronics.
