The technology isn't new. There has been some change in supply chain availability with the ability to produce super cheap electronics and servos. Honestly, this could be pretty great for safety overall with improvements to emergency braking performance alone. You can still retain a redundant mechanical emergency brake. Not really a big leap, you almost wonder why we haven't done it yet. People understand that we currently rely on power braking and steering for existing vehicles, this is taking that next step. I think anyone who has lost steering and braking power while driving should kind of automatically understand why it might be ok. I do have my doubts for steering by wire in cars however.
