Drive by wire is already here!
The corvettes and some other GM vehicles have fully electronic throttles, there is no connection between the gas pedal and the engine, the new Mercedes flagship has electrical brakes instead of hydraulic that you pump. This all lets the car make decisions for you to optimize how it drives. The new sierra Denali even has electrical rear steering(from Delphi) which means electrical front steering is also possible. Some people want the road feel though so you don't want to completely disconnect them from the driving experience.
