well if you dont like the fly by wire idea then dont fly commercially. all of the airliners use this technology. its like anything else, it will need to be perfected.
......and don't get hydraulic steering, because that does away with the cable also.
IMO it's a bad idea. I wonder how much a throttle servo will cost? :220v:
And it's not like a car. When is there salt spray and 6' seas in the highway? :rolleyes:
Be quiet...still hurricane season.
I would think that technology would be bug free since commercial aircraft have been set up like that for years and have never had a problem.
