About the electrically-assisted steering im with you guys."

I don't think they would clear it for production unless it is up to expected sportiness standard.

I remember many years ago when power-assisted steering was looked down by sporty drivers because it was usually dead and without feel. See nowadays how it has evolved. The same will happen with electrically-assisted steering. Benefit will be no or very little engine power  consumption and perhaps less weight.

 Even the best power steering systems are dead compared to manual (come for a visit and I'll show you).  Electric will only be worse, imo.  Yes, people will adjust but more feel and feedback will likely be lost.
