I just looked at an "instructional overview" about modern electric cars and just learned that the steering wheel is not physically connected to the front wheels via any mechanical linkage.

The massive battery bank for EV cars occupies the space that is normal used for mechanical steering linkage...so as a "work around" the front wheels rely on electro-mechanical servo motors at the wheels to resolve the "information that is transmitted from the sending unit at the steering wheel to keep your car "rightsideup and between the ditches" without fail......
This system works on commercial jets..but there are usually 2 redundant systems built in for back up.
