Henry Ford was often quoted as saying "The safety of steel from pedal to wheel" as he was a big proponent of the Ford mechanical braking systems that used a steel rod to actuate the brakes.
Many of the new Porsches have rear wheel steering that is all electrical or computer controlled. And I suspect many cars in the near future will have electronic steering as it will make the car's design easier with no shaft from the wheel to a steering box. And no more steering columns shoved into the chest of the driver. That was mostly fixed with collapsible steering columns, but they can only collapse so much.
