I Drive a 2000 Grand Prix with drive by cable. Now I have driven cars with the drive by wire system (2005 volvo xc90 and many more) and I absolutely despise it. It feels so numb and disconnected. Specifically the Volvo was horrible with a laggy response. I don't really want to ever have a car with it, but I know all the newer cars have it, so I wonder, how hard it would be to convert back to cable. Also I think that this is just another thing to go wrong on and car. We have transmission by wire, steer by wire is starting to show it's ugly face, and I know Mercedes has/had some stupid brake by wire thing a while back that was a disaster. Also we know about the problems that Toyota had too. These technologies are suppose to make everything safer but I think giving more control to the computer like this makes us more vulnerable. This technology is suppose to help avoid accidents and stuff but when it goes wrong it may even cause an accident. All these newer cars have too many computers on them, things are getting to advanced for there own good and once hackers get on par with all the technology, we are SOL. Watch the video, it's coming whether we like it not. Also if anyone knows how easy or hard it would be to change a car back to a cable throttle let me know. This is just one guys opinion, so let me know what you guys think about it, love it or hate it. I think you know my opinion by now. Call me what you want "old fashioned" or whatever you want but I know where I stand. I look forward to reading your responses.
