Abstract:
Fly-by-wire has taken the aircraft from mechanical to computerized control. Enough expertise exists to do the same for the car—drive—by—wire. But, the author argues, it is less likely to be the demands of safety and comfort holding the development of the design back, but rather the conservatism of the car manufacturers.
