waiting for... doesn't work when feet are wet.

Honestly, I think *-by-wire technology can exist, but I don't think it should be trusted to cost-reduction-at-any-cost manufacturers.

I've heard the cybertruck steer-by-wire has a control lag. And then there's the no-mechanical-escape door handles.

I have throttle-by-wire on my motorcycle and I love it. Very precise and safe.
