Actually I think they can get rid of the windshield and steering wheel too. All you need is a camera mounted on the hood of the car and you can see where you are going on the iphone's screen and you turn simply by tilting the iphone... now just don't start shaking the iphone ....

I don't think I will ever go for electronic steering but shaking would be for breaks..

LOL... And the passenger side will have a compartment for barf bags for all the shaking...

Well, the accelerator is already a full fledged electronic control system.

The steering in your current car is already an assisted steering system, if it fails or you turn the engine off, try turning the steering wheel, it's next to impossible unless you are build like Arnold or work out every day at the gym...

I think it will be only a matter of time before they will change the steering system to an all electric system...
