I did my best to extract details from the article's mountain of seo fluff. I think Bosch is trying to maximize complexity of a safety-critical system by deeply integrating it into all the other bits of the car.
Okay. We do build war aircraft that way and they're awesome but they also need a steady stream of $billions to keep them flying.
My recommendation if Bosch wants to be a radical leader in auto tech, invent tactile controls and place them where they can be reached w/o taking eyes off of roads.
Then blow everyone away by inventing non-blinding headlights.
That said, steering without at least hydrolic/power assist is rough on your forearms.
Honestly, I think *-by-wire technology can exist, but I don't think it should be trusted to cost-reduction-at-any-cost manufacturers.
I've heard the cybertruck steer-by-wire has a control lag. And then there's the no-mechanical-escape door handles.

To anyone wondering this essentially turns your brake pedal into a gas-like brake pedal.
Now what I'm wondering is, can we tie this all to the brake-light brightness?

Aside: anyone else ever been driving behind a large vehicle with the brake lights out? That's a not fun exercise right there.

Is "i wonder how hard they're breaking" really a problem?
People drive too close to each other already
