If the electronic power assist steering controller fails during use, the rack falls back to manual mode where the steering is heavy. I wonder if they were collecting data on how many units fell back to the backup unit, and decided it was enough to either not use it, or pay the warranty costs for fixing them. There's really nothing in the EPAS system that can wear out, maybe the motor itself...
FSD is trash, all these Teslas on the road braking to a stop for no reason, driving slow in the fast lane >:( Cut them off the computer wont care.

After the whole logging and wearing down flash memory saga, I'm not sure about that. In theory you're right, but in practice "It's a Tesla".
- roflchoppa 5y agoA Honda Legend has level 3 autonomous driving in Japan I wonder what their setup looks like. Every car that I've been into looking to scrape the controllers and motors out of uses a singular EPAS ECU, but none of them provide any level of automation. What level of system redundancy do they offer on brakes?
