Camry LE – Steering/Pedal question

Camry LE – Steering/Pedal question

Hello.

I have a 2007 Camry LE. I recall hearing or reading somewhere that the steering and gas pedal were different than some other cars in that they were highly computer-assisted or something of that nature. Reason I ask is that the steering is “softer / looser / more “play” in the wheel” than my previous car (Sebring sedan). And the gas pedal seems more sensitive.

Does this sound right/indicative of Camry LE? Where can I find out more about this computer system I heard about?

Thanks

it's called "drive by wire".........there isn't any more accelerator cable. and for the steering, its "electronic assist" as well......and there ain't no "play in the wheel.......you turn the steering wheel, the front tires move......simple concept.

Not to mention the fact that comparing a Toyota to a Chrysler isnt even remotely fair.
