Abstract
A drive-by-wire system can include pair of inputs and a controller configured to process signals from the inputs in a first mode and process the same signals differently in a second mode. The controller can be configured to, in the first mode, drive a first motor at a speed and direction that corresponds to the position of the first input and drive a second motor at a speed and direction that corresponds to the position of the second input and, in the second mode, drive the first motor and the second motor in the same direction and at the same speed using the first drive signal when the controller receives a second neutral signal from the second input, and drive the first motor and the second motor at different speeds and/or directions when the controller receives the first drive signal and the second drive signal.
