But the Q50 retains its entire mechanical steering linkage in case of failures. So even the some "drive by wire" car on the market still has the additional weight of the mechanical system... I'd suspect due to legal reasons.

And of course the fact that the system was under development for 10 years and seems to be slated for the dust bin after being in actual cars just one year (apparently the next refresh does away with it).

I would say "not a great idea."
