>a lot. I guarantee you that engineers warned PM's about this kind of thing from the start. >Also, those old timers were wrong about drive by wire, there is zero evidence that it's any less safe than physical linkages. Let's distinguish drive-by-wire from FADEC (or what amounts to a poor-version of FADEC). An electronic throttle is fine. An electronic throttle that cannot be overridden by a casual user not. It's the implementation that's problematic.
