Modern vehicles are essentially computers with wheels. Even the steering is drive by wire, braking and engine response is all computerised, and the only input the driver has is where he wants the car to go, and how he wants it to go there. That where and how can be controlled through various ways.

B.S. The steering is a conventional power assisted mechanism, and even if the “assist” fails is still a mechanical linkage.
