First things first, a link to click. Clicky!
Spark notes: Similar to removing the throttle cable for drive by wire, Nissan is disconnecting the steering wheel from the steering rack. They're replacing the physical connection with a multitude of sensors and two electric motors. But don't worry, just to make sure everything is twice as expensive as it needs to be, they're making sure that the steering wheel can still be connected to the steering rack via a clutch. Your thoughts? I feel like this will dull the driving experience for those of us who enjoy it, drive manufacturing costs up which will of course be passed along to the consumer, add weight, and provide more things to break. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

It would be a complete disconnect between the driver and the car. Take away direct steering feel and input and what do you have? Garbage.

Bad enough cars have drive by wire now... They're already experimenting with cars that drive themself. Hell at that point might as well take public transportation. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
