I know, but I'm considering a situation where the electric steering gives up at a very inconvenient moment (accident aversion, overtake, etc.) and the driver cannot provide the required force to correct the car, even with a 100% concentration.

After the whole logging and wearing down flash memory saga, I'm not sure about that. In theory you're right, but in practice "It's a Tesla".

A Honda Legend has level 3 autonomous driving in Japan I wonder what their setup looks like. Every car that I've been into looking to scrape the controllers and motors out of uses a singular EPAS ECU, but none of them provide any level of automation.

What level of system redundancy do they offer on brakes?
