When my bike's brake cable broke, it was the day before a thief stole it.
It was rusted through, though, and pretty much left no doubt as to its condition.
Pretty certain you can design that in. You realize that a number of cars are drive by wire now, at least with regard to the throttle, and many have electrical power steering. Yet engineers have been able to retain feedback in both instances.
Eh.... not really. My car's got electric assist, and its feel is okay. But that's really more dependent on steering geometry than the assist system. I could add or subtract some amount of steering feel if I could adjust caster, for example.
