Drive by wire has been around for 30 or 40 years. The lag is there, but it is much better than it used to be. I notice it most trying to rev match on down shifts, a quick stab doesn't always produce any throttle response. Almost like the accelerator pump is out.
Cars are much much safer than they were 30 years ago. Drive by wire is part of that.
