It's probably filled with electronic algorithms intended to mimic manual or analog steering systems.

The ones I've read about are intended to provide the driver with some feedback - but not too much.

Yes, a good example of engineering overcoming a liability, limited driver feedback with early electronic steering systems. All that visual input with no verification via feedback stimulus and the brain starts to freak out.

Only trained pilots are instrument rated for a reason, the rest of us rely on evolution and prior experiences to lead our way, and that means feedback.

Ever lose part of your voice in an anechoic chamber?

That lack of feedback is an eerie feeling, can't find the exit quickly enough.
