Why?
The aeronautical industry have been flying-by-wire for years/decades
by now. It's an accepted basic standard technology there.
And they have a third dimension to take into account; falling down...
I wouldn't mind a car with electrical steering as well as braking.
In Sweden we have a rolling prototype car [in the form of a Super Seven
knock off] at one of the Tech universities. A car with all electric;
four-wheel-steering, braking, engine control [accelerator etc].
The lot!
If I remember correctly the only conventional things in the car seems
to be the internal combustion engine and the drive train... Goes like
a scalded rat and turns on a dime... You can change from lhd to rhd
with a quick hand grip moving the steering wheel and the pedal pods...
I wouldn't mind having one.
