bbca1974 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 as far as i know there aren't any production cars using steer by wire. Lexus comes the closest with their autopark .After doing some research some say that lexus is steer by wire and some say it is not ,who's to say?drive by wire used to pertain to throttle control.eliminating the cable makes it easier for integration of safety devices here is an interesting article to shed some light http://editorial.carsales.com.au/car-review/2726195.aspx and a semi funny demo of the lexus auto park the bmw autopark seems to work well here is the vid: and here is the wikipedia info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_by_wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
