Hi
A real drive ( or fly ) by wire system need at least 1 backup system, so a second complete steering system in case of a failure.
That's one reason why there is no such thing in vehicles and all steering systems are backed up by the still mechanical connection to the steering wheel.
I would not feel safe with a drive by wire system without the mechanical connection, regardless of it being a electric or hydraulic actuated steering system.
The flaming river electric assisted steering system looks great, but for 5K might be a bit overkill.
This must be cheaper as many new cheap production cars use it.
I can not imagine that the system costs 5K on a 20K car.
