Talk:Drive by wire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought that "Drive by wire" was more than just throttle control. Isn't the purpose of the technology to "remove the mechanical linkages between the controls of a car and the devices that actually do the work"?

I think that the true drive-by-wire definition does involve exactly that, but that current implementations are far more limited in scope and thus obscure the real idea. I just posted this this on slashdot, but perhaps it has relevance here. --btrotter 05:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
