Sir Osis of Liver 🇨🇦 🇲🇽Even had they known, their chances would not have improved that much. It's a fiddly thing to get to and operate. In a panic, all bets are off.
It absolutely should have been flagged by NHTSA prior to it being offered to the public.
I am not at all a fan of electric door latch mechanisms. Nor for brakes or steering.
They talk about the redundant steering gear and devices on the steer-by-wire system, "just like in an airplane".
They fail to mention that there is no redundant 48V power source. If the system dies, no steering, at all. The steering wheel just freewheels like an unplugged game controller.
