Really? Nonsense? Do me a favor: go find a dictionary.

Of course it's a totally different technology, but AT ROOT it's trying to do the same thing - assist in steering effort.

Also, I'm going to assume you feel the Honda S2000 and Acura NSX, both EPS systems developed between 15 and 20 years ago, are lousy in feel and feedback?

Those cars were developed from the ground up on an EPS system. Sufficient focus on delivering an excellent driving experience with EPS pays off.

It's not a mystery, it's just hard to get right - even moreso in "luxury" sports cars who want to limit kick-back and bump steer and what not.
