Lots of cars throughout the last two decades have suffered from latent issues as a result of new drive by wire implementations. It was very frustrating in some models from early 2000s where the electronic throttle modules where severely delayed. You'd push the pedal to the floor and get no immediate feedback. Terrifying when you're trying to get out of the way.

- Zancarius 3y agoI've had issues with throttle-by-wire but not so much latency as much as the traction control nannies telling me how to drive. First time I had this happen in a '14 Tundra it scared the crap out of me, because it works by cutting throttle to the drive tires if it detects loss of traction. Then it seems like the vehicle is not responding to throttle inputs until the computer decides traction has been regained. I get that it's "safer" for your typical driving conditions, but I'd imagine trying to get out of the way in a hurry it could be a problem... Knowing that's the case now, I kind of expect it, so it's changed my driving habits slightly and has made me plan ahead more than normal. But I can't imagine how actual input latency would feel after that experience.
