The steering wheel became popular after a number of racing drivers started fitting them to their cars.
It seems Alfraed Vacheron was the first person noted for using/fitting one
"in 1894 Alfred Vacheron took part in the Paris-Rouen-Race with a Panhard 4hp model which he had fitted with a steering wheel."
Panhard (originally Panhard et Levassor) then in 1898 became the first company to fit steering wheels as standard
A patent was filled for a "Steering wheel for a motor vehicle" Invented by George H. Muller, filed in 1975
