Lag shouldn't be an issue for a "normal" car because you still have a physical connection between the steering and the wheel. Worst case you'll have more resistance if the power steering system fails.

Exactly, from the driver's perspective, you know what the tires are doing.

That's not likely to be the case much longer, at least in some brands. Toyota got approval to mass market sell steer by wire in the US last year, though I think they've only released one crossover with it

I'm pretty sure that by "normal" car we were just talking about non-steer-by-wire cars. Maybe I misunderstood.

Either way it was tested by some manufacturers in the past and if I remember correctly users generally disliked either the feeling or the simple knowledge that they have something between them and the wheels. We'll see

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
