ah you are correct, I confused drive-by-wire with electric-power-steering

I did not know there was still a mechanical link.

I still like the fact my car is full mechanical everything which seems to fail more "softly" than any replacement that relies on software. Toyota's electric accelerator and its spaghetti-code comes to mind.
