Steer by wire is pretty much the only cool thing. It exists elsewhere sure, but not in vehicles of this size
It's not even cool, it's scary. What happens when this 7,000 pound brick loses power? There's now a battering ram flying down the road with absolutely no control.
I don't understand the scenario where it would be flying down the road and not having power.
Non-flat roads do exist.
There's no failsafe? Jesus.
Nope, the steering wheel has no mechanical connection to the wheels. There's not even a mechanical emergency brake, that needs to be done electrically too.
Well that's disconcerting.
Wow, surprised I haven't seen this being discussed more.
