Is This For Real?

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

and a semi funny demo of the lexus auto park

the bmw autopark seems to work well here is the vid:

I don't know if you guys remember dave rivera's new beetle install .I think he did it for metra but am not sure but his was controlled by the mirror controls -there is no steering wheel in the car ! quite cool but impractical .
