Default drive-by-wire?

A few years ago, one of GM's concepts was pitched for its 'drive-by-wire' technology. They even had CBS's Dan Rather drive it on TV, explaining there was no mechanical link to the accelerator! All GMs were supposed to be this way in "the future".....so, the future is here and I wonder, is there a direct mechanical link from the TCH accelerator to the ICE or does the "go pedal" just connect to the computer?
