U.S. to decide soon on GM’s request to deploy cars without steering wheels::U.S. regulators will soon decide on a petition filed by General Motors’ Cruise self-driving technology unit seeking permission to deploy up to 2,500 self-driving vehicles annually without human controls, a top auto safety official said on Wednesday.
I would argue that steerings are already fully electronically controlled in self-driving cars or have been partially controlled for a while now in traction control systems.
Putting cars aside, most large aircrafts are fly-by-wire and are really reliable in that regard.
