Yay. An electric car that's run by a computer. Now your electronics can fail silently instead of your mechanicals failing loudly. Whatever makes ya happy, I guess.

uhhh, this is old.

In case you wonder.

All new cars are already gas-by-wire to save cost.

BMW's activie steering is a semi-form of steering by wire.

Pending approval from government, brake/steering by wire will be available as soon as they can proved to be safe.
