    Steer-by-wire cars would still have tie-rod ends etc., though. In other words, they have all the same failure modes as purely mechanical steering, plus additional ones introduced by the servos and computers.

    And sure, maintenance on old cars is a thing, but every car gets old eventually so there’s not a real difference there.
