Re: Electric steering; Good, bad or maybe?

its a good thing to have a failsafe, but dumb to require that it limit technical advances.

if a truck looses all its airpressure, then it has no brakes
so there is an emergency brake.
but what if the cable is corodded and snaps when the driver uses it for the first time in 5 years.
the list goes on...


the system i image is one where each wheel is one a spindle similar to what is used on typical front wheels, but it is controled by an electric solenoid.
