I wonder how modern cars assisted steering and brakes fail when they do.

You can still steer and stop a car w/out power. It just takes a lot more force than you're used to.

Also, in an ICE car, the pump that pressurizes the power steering/breaking system is directly powered by belts off the engine. It's not electric and a computer does not mediate the power transfer.

Which really makes me think what happens in a Tesla when the computer shits the bed...
