    Nope, steer-by-wire is already a thing. The Infiniti Q50 has it, its steering wheel is not mechanically attached to the wheels.

    Electronic brakeforce distribution means that when the ABS module is not working, the car will brake worse than the same car with no ABS and purely mechanical brakeforce distribution.

  ABS has been under software control for years. So long as the safety-critical stuff stays off the CAN bus, everything's fine.
