Just explaining the differences in failover system implementation. Very neat technology! Kinda wish it had Crab Walk tho!
I don't know what you are arguing. Mechanical backup to an electrical system is a very common practice.
tesla had the lead in autonomous driving. but their insistence on optical only sensors and no mapping specific roads and letting general ai solve the problems has left them looking like they are now and will be behind waymo and the others. their constant failure to reach FSD when promised and their tendancy to remove features customers have already paid for opens them up to all kinds of lawsuits. same thing goes for the taxi feature.
Some heavy equipment, such as rough terrain cranes and forklifts have had 4 wheel and crab steering going back even farther than that.Having a mechanical backup is a safety feature...MB had SBC which was brake by wire. I had it in my 2006 E350 4Matic. It had its own battery backup. The system proved to be unreliable and MB switched it out. But they extended the warranty on it to 25 years.

Four wheel steering is pretty old too. 1987 Honda Prelude had it.
Yeah, I don't get why people think Tesla invented AWS. GM had Quadrasteer as well.Some heavy equipment, such as rough terrain cranes and forklifts have had 4 wheel and crab steering going back even farther than that.
Nobody thinks Tesla invented AWS. What they were the first to do was put steer by wire and AWS together which the 2014 Infinity Q50 did not do.Yeah, I don't get why people think Tesla invented AWS. GM had Quadrasteer as well.

No it was not.Quadrasteer was steering by wire as well no?
The Quadrasteer system was electronically controlled by two sophisticated microprocessors, enabling it to behave differently depending on vehicle speed and driving mode.
It was particularly useful for those who tow boats, fifth wheels, or other large equipment.
Your confusing me bro. First your talking about front axles on a Q50 and now your talking about rear axles on a GMC. Make up you mind.......or just admit I was right.Rear axle was definitely steer by wire, front was probably mechanical linkage

How is it confusing? Q50 had (not sure if it is still used) SbW on the front axle, GM Quadrasteer had it on the rear axle. Tesla is the first to have both SbW on both axels and AWS in one road legal vehicle.Your confusing me bro.

A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says Kids at his Son’s Baseball Practice Laughed at his Cybertruck After it was Towed – Adds, “28 kids Went From Thinking the Cybertruck Was Cool to Pointing & Laughing”
A Cybertruck owner says that the 10-year-old kids at his son’s baseball practice initially thought the Cybertruck was the coolest vehicle. However, their excitement faded & they started to point & laugh after the Cybertruck had to be towed on a flatbed.www.torquenews.com
How does that happen?
The confusion was coming from you throwing out the Q50 which is SBW on a front axle vehicle then you brought up Quadrasteer which is a rear axle that is SBW. I was just having a hard time keeping up with you that is all.How is it confusing? Q50 had (not sure if it is still used) SbW on the front axle, GM Quadrasteer had it on the rear axle. Tesla is the first to have both SbW on both axels and AWS in one road legal vehicle.
