Not wild about those. (And I've seen others on this site say the same, the "feel" is different than a cable). But sometimes technology gets too encroaching to avoid.

I'm not crazy about antilock brakes either. Yes they've been standard on GM cars for 20 years. But I find the computer calls on them earlier than necessary. GM being conservative toward "safety", I suppose.

I wonder how much weight could be removed from modern cars if the consumer had more choice what features were really wanted.
