    That’s true though many of them aren’t designed to be steered without the power steering operational so the more you drive manually the more damage you do.
    I would assume this would be a similar system in this case. There’s no way an unsteerable car would be allowed on public roads.

      Steer by wire means there is no mechanical connection to the steering. (article also mentions this.) Fly by wire is the plane equivalent.

      I am curious about what sort of failsafe they will have.

      Steering system taking damage during emergency use is preferable to no steering.

      Article mentions there is safely legislation for China and the EU, but I am too lazy to look that up.
