If you want an instant throttle response buy an electric car.

Doesn't Infiniti have a production car with drive by wire out there? But it still has a mechanical link just in case.

The lag might be intentional, cause it makes the car more comfortable to drive. Have you never driven with someone who has bad control over his leg? Sometimes you're pushed into the seat, then no gas at all, you fly forward, then pushed into seat, ... imagine that with a car that has immediate throttle response.

As for keyless entry... IIRC at a Swiss university some students have proven how insecure these systems are. They used 2 modified walkie talkies and were able to enter and even drive away all sorts of cars. You just need one person with a walkie talkie near to the key, while the other one has the walkie talkie in his pocket and enters the car as if he's the owner. It's rather trivial, and you can do it anywhere, any time, risk free, because the thief looks like he owns the car. No suspicious movements or anything.

There's a reason why some cars come with different modes. Can set it to be responsive, can set it to be comfortable and fuel saving, depending on how you want it at this moment. Maybe the TS has to buy one of those cars?
