I've been saying it for some time, but I do not believe in drive by the wire. At least not without master kill switches that drop electricity directly going to the ignition, drive motor and a gas shutoff ball valve in the fuel supply line. Along with a manual string driven backup emergency brakes.
My honest opinion is that drive by the wire malfunctions occur more than we are told about, and, it is only getting worse. Even with robust electronics there are still common mode and discrete mode software failures taking place that are impossible to simulate practically to the point in which they can be avoided in the real world.

Electronicification is a no-no for me.
