Not "completely"; rather, just enough of the system to remove mechanical
linkages for ignition/transmission (i.e., those portions cited as a way to
deal with UA).

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_by_wire for a nice list of
makes/models that have implemented the transmission portion; the ignition
portion seems to be pretty widespread (
