Re: Electronic Steering
Like the fellas above meantioned, it is a state-of-the-art steering.
A 100% electrical steering is due to legislative reasons not possible yet (at least in Europe), but it certainly will be at some point. All major manufacturers are developing various drive-by-wire solutions, i.e. it won't take long (<5 years) until they are widely spreaded. As far as I know, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan are bringing (or already have brought) electromechanical steering into serial production this year (2013). The major advantage is obviously weight reduction (and thus CO2), not only due to reduced number of parts, but also lack of fluid and/or the increased use of polymer (plastic) components. I personally think it's a good option (even as a after-market solution), but would wait a few years until those steer-by-wire-systems a) are affordable and b) have the major quality-issues (due to new technology) solved.

Re: Electronic Steering
I've always thought it would be cool to have an electronic control for shifting an automatic trans......sure make it easier to change over to them. I picture the old Mopar dash push button shifters, but eliminating any need for linkage....just an elecronic control mounted on the trans......are you listening, Lokar? (maybe it's already available and I just don't know it?)
