To my knowledge, the steering is 'drive by wire'. No real mechanical connection to the steering rack via the steering wheel. Servo/stepper motor 'gearbox' so to speak. No, that would mean if the power went out you'd have no steering at all, no one would build a car like that (nor would they be allo...
