The idea to make steering drive-by-wire is terrifying. I had a truck with a hard to reproduce software bug where the electric steering assist would just turn off. Imagine going down a canyon road towing 5000 lbs and the steering suddenly gets extremely hard and the wheel rips from your hands. I had it happen. Luckily there is still a mechanical shaft going to the steering rack.

>The idea to make steering drive-by-wire is terrifying. Indeed. I have zero confidence that the company who thought Catalina was ready to ship can deliver a safe drive by wire system. That's not the kind of system where you can just patch the bugs out later.
