Steer by wire and brake by wire are both possible. In fact they are in development right now. If anyone knows of a specific production vehicle with either brake or steering by wire and is available to buy from a show room, please do share!

Mercedes used "brake by wire" on their E class and other models, but stopped and went back to normal hydraulics for the 2007 model year on the E. Too many issues.
It was called Sensotronic (or "SBC").
They may still use it on the SL and others, but I think it is being phased out on all models.
