How much is By-Wire?

I know the shifting, parking, starting are. How about the brakes, steering, etc? I would love a list of all the high-tech greatness.

Brakes: yes
Gas: yes

Anything else? Err... the others will know

Hmmm. Bluetooth is By-Wireless 8), as is the SE/SS. And I suppose you could also include Voice Commands for the NAV package. Do those count as a high tech greatness?

To elaborate a bit, the brakes have several redundancies built in including an emergency mechanical/hydrolic system in case of catastrophic electrical failure. Steering is electric assist I believe, but also can manually be overridden in electrical failure.
