Yep, my wife's RX-350 has the electric steering setup you describe. And all the articulated bits and pieces on the inside that require sensors and computers to operate. I'm not a technophobe, but having a computer network between me and the powertrain or steering just creeps me out.
BTW, I'm a Niven fan. Great screen name.

I wondered how long it would take for somebody to recognize my screen name. You win a cookie! Like the Kzin, my strategy has not evolved beyond scream and leap.
