No steer by wire yet, and I don't believe there is any production vehicle that relies solely on brake by wire either. For today's architectures, once you place the body onto the chassis, there are still some additional mechanical integration points.
In the (likely distant) future, once autonomous drive is viable, you'll see vehicles with no mechanically operated driver controls. And eventually, in the even more distant (hardly worth discussing at this point) future, manual controls will evolve away completely.

Commuters and last mile delivery haulers. They will be the perfect rig to pick me and my family up when we call Uber. Or for FedEx. Just not for enthusiasts.
Nor for anyone who still wants to enjoy “driving”.
