also, not to sound like a complete novice, but what exactly is "drive by wire?"



I presume it has something to do with electronically controlled gas/brake pedals, i.e., in newer cars like a new BMW, the gas and brake pedals are really just connected to electronic sensors which then tell the cars computer to accelerate or brake accordingly.... is that correct?
Drive by wire, is using sensors to sync the throttle, the issue with it is that the pedal is on the floor instead of another pedal hanging next do the brake and it is lower than the brake pedal, thus harder for most heel to reach.
