I think you're referring to power-assisted braking and steering Dougal. While you may need to use a whole lot more force than you're used to, they should still both work. And it would be wise for every driver find a safe place and do a test so you know what it would be like.
Until the day engineers can absolutely guarantee no engine will ever stop working while a car's in motion, I'd suggest having the car also lose all control function would be grossly negligent design. Fail safe is a very basic principle.
But don't ask me to account for early airbags.
