Drive-by-wire eliminates the mechanical linkages between cabin and chassis to enable steering, braking and shifting through electronic signals.
The AUTOnomy, a concept car from General Motors, showcases two advanced technologies: fuel cells and
drive-by-wire. According to Dr.
Drive-by-wire systems will be combined with Active Body Control (ABC), an active suspension that increases handling and stability while minimizing body movement.
Henceforth, some of the market participants have introduced front steer with rear steer-by-wire system that incorporates
drive-by-wire system at rear wheels.
Dataspeed Inc., a Michigan-based

Drive-by-wire electronic controls and instrumentation, lust to re-fresh everyone's memory, this approach replaces mechanical and hydraulic systems with electronic controls driven by electromechanical actuators and human-machine interfaces, such as pedal and steering feel emulators.
As most of the primary functions on the vehicle are
drive-by-wire anyway, Hummer says converting them to respond to a hand-held control was not too difficult.
Although powered by the same engine as the previous Type R, Honda engineers have made evolutionary changes to the two-litre naturally aspirated i-VTEC petrol engine featuring
drive-by-wire throttle control.
The entry-level 2.0 petrol i-VTEC engine now has
drive-by-wire so that max power and torque both come in 500rpm lower than before.
Believing that
drive-by-wire systems and what they term "ecological" vehicles are just 15 years away from volume production, research has begun at Siemens VDO on an integrated wheel module that combines drive and dynamic functions.
