I bet quite a few of the new luxo-sport cars have drive by wire. I know the
new Corvettes have it. I was watching a ProRally last year (or was it 2
years ago) and the Ford Focus that was in the lead broke down when his drive
by wire failed. He couldn't fix it on the side of the road (as he COULD have
if he had a cable) so he was out. BTW, stock Focuses (Foci?) don't have
drive by wire.
