I hate fly-by-wire. I always will. It's just bad.
We used to prank the guy in HS who's parent bought him a BMW by putting a laminated card between his pedal cluster and the contact.
It's trash.
Drive by wire - where the accelerator pedal is connected to the throttle electronically - is separate from these electronic doors with hidden and nonintuitive "emergency" interior release handles.
There's nothing wrong with a drive by wire accelerator.
