  1. Steer by wire looks incredibly complicated for really quite small benefits. Ditto electric power steering, which always feels dead. The Citroen DIRAVI hydraulic system solved all this in 1970. By law it had a solid shaft to the steering wheel but everything else was hydraulically powered. This could easily be used in electric cars with a pair of electric motor hydraulic pumps. I feel it’s a great lost opportunity along with the Citroen hydraulic suspension system. It got a name for unreliability but that was actually caused by mechanics refusing to understand the technology and of course rust which rotted into every car back then.
