That's just what we need a bunch of red-necks with 'sky-rage' Can you imagine the sky full of tailgaters? They need to give some kind of intelligence test as a prerequisite for the driving test to keep the idiots off the roads. 'Whats that fell in our back yard Ma' 'Nothn just old wider Johnson ran out of gas again'

it looks like an airplane when you maneuver it.. but i think they should have invented a flying car instead.. the quickest way to reach your destination hehehe..

doosierty, respectfully I still don't see his point. You'd have fail safes like routing some sort of emergency back up power to the system for a couple of minutes to enable a safe pull over. A fail safe system like that can be as redundant as you like. We are missing something else here, Short of a dead battery or alternator the statement is based on a catastrophic power failure you don't even get to see in existing cars let alone future ones.

corndog251 For aprox $2,300 dollars buy a solar pannel system that will allow a person to charge their car for free after the initial cost of the system,that way not using the power grid, there are plenty of solutions

It depends if its electric assist power steering, or actual drive-by-wire. There are a lot of GM cars with electric assist power steering which is the same thing as normal hydraulic except the pump is replaced with a motor. If the system fails or car shuts down you can still turn the wheel.
