Hi Brian! Automotive engineer here - your steering wheel turns because it's still mechanically connected to the wheels and all the other parts that make steering happen. The gas pedal probably doesn't move because it's likely drive-by-wire (electric connection, not mechanical) and your brake pedal won't move because it's a hydraulic circuit. Thanks for the great write up on how you use your van!

Thank you for going above and beyond in response to my question! I've shared it with my dad, I think he'll get a kick out of reading it. Very informative and entertaining as always.
