Why did auto manufacturers move to electric steering? Does it save weight or free up a lot more space in the engine bay? |

Also heard it's safer not having a spear/steering rod pointed at your chest... |
not sure about that one... correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall ever hearing; "...death by steering column..."
